Cadette Girl Scout Earns Silver Award

Megan of Girl Scout Cadette Troop 4478 earned her Girl Scout Silver Award by making comfort cases for children in shelters and in transitional housing. The Silver Award is the highest award that a Cadette level Girl Scout can earn. It is earned by completing at least 50 hours on a project of lasting impact.

Megan worked with the Good Shepherd Alliance, an organization that serves Loudoun County’s homeless population. Megan donated 12 kits to Good Shepherd Alliance for distribution to children in the transitional homes. These homemade kits were filled with lots of small treasures that would bring comfort to the children in these homes. In addition to donating the kits she made, Megan collected hundreds of other necessities such as medicine, soap and shampoo to donate to the homeless population. Over 50 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were also donated to Good Shepherd Alliance.

Thank you for your efforts to help children and families in need – Well done, Megan!
