Girl Scout Troop 21214 has been working on completing the Journey Agent of Change. Part of their project was to develop a list of signs and symptoms of Covid-19, how to stop the spread of the disease and how to help the frontline workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, each Scout member created and delivered five goodie bags to frontline workers. Frontline workers are anyone still working during the pandemic crisis. These girls have battled the adversity of not being able to meet on a regular basis to complete this project. Their troop leader, Malinda Schmidt commented, \u201cAll in all, they have done a fantastic job and I am proud of each and every one of them! These young ladies will do marvelous things as they continue to develop and grow into young women.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
