Find Out How to Get Your Girl Scout Cookies – Including GrubHub
Plus, meet Rebecca Hatt - a Gold Award Girl Scout.
You gotta meet Rebecca. She's an incredible 16-year-old Sophomore from Biddeford and has been a Girl Scout for about 11 years. She is a Gold Award Girl Scout. That is the Girl Scouts highest and most prestigious award. Her Gold Award Project is called Embracing Community Arts (ECA). She found a lack of access in her community to literature and the arts because of socioeconimic status and other limiting factors - only made worse by the pandemic.
Her project focused on making resources for literature, dance lessons and art supplies available for students in the community. She delivered art supplies alongside Biddeford School's own food distribution and delivery network. She also made online dance classes available. She delivered 740 books and art kits and had 100 students in virtual dance and art classes.
Her project also was the Distinguished Finalist in the 2021 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. Rebecca received the Girl Scout Silver Award for her troop's Project Confidence that she spearheaded in middle school, raising money for and collecting feminine protection for women experiencing homelessness in her community. She was a 2019 Prudential Spirit of Community awards Maine State Honoree for this project.
Oh and Rebecca is also on the Girl Scouts of Maine Board of Diectors and Global Action Team...and remember - she's 16!
