Local Girl Scout Troop Earns Prestigious Silver Award for their work with the San Diego Humane Society It took ten dedicated Girl Scout Cadettes, three sewing moms, two amazing Troop Leaders, and two long years to create one of the largest single donations the San Diego Humane Society has ever seen from a group of Girl Scouts in all of its 125 years of service. In order to be a candidate for one of the most prestigious community service awards within the Girl Scouts, Girl Scout Troop 3959 constructed a plan they could dedicate themselves to for the next two years. This plan had two very distinct objectives. The first was to construct a hanging, handmade quilt to educate and inspire the community to help animals in need. The second objective was to have individual donation drives within their neighborhoods to benefit the San Diego Humane Society. Each Cadette logged over 60 hours in their neighborhood donation drives which resulted in mountains of pet supplies flooding the Humane Society’s hallways. After dropping off this huge donation of pet goods, gift cards, and over $600 in donations, the girls received a special behind-the-scenes tour of the Humane Society. Humane Society staff members later attended Troop 3959’s Silver Award ceremony at the end of May and the staff were presented with a beautiful handmade quilt. Over the course of two years, the girls had met once a month with the three sewing moms, for six hours of instruction each, to learn how to quilt. It was also during this time that the girls designed and sewed together each of their own swatches. To see this majestic quilt in person, take a walk down Wallis Annenberg Way, on the right of our Adoption Gallery. Thank you Troop 3959 for all of your hard work, dedication, and support. The animals and staff at the Humane Society could not be happier or more impressed by such a stellar group of young women.
