This is a blog to track my progress towards the Girl Scout Senior Visionary Award. I will be adding updates as I complete different sections.

The Case of the Goody Bags

What motivated the girls to do something for the kids at the shelter?

- Women and children had been abused and were in a shelter to escape this and the girls felt sympathy towards them and felt it was their responsibility to help them.

Were their actions organized to meet a genuine need or an imagined one?

- An imagined one.

What planning steps did the team of girls skip over?

- They didn’t go and meet the kids and they didn’t find out what the kids would REALLY need.

What did they do well?

- They gathered items well and got a lot of people to donate the items and they did this well.

Were their efforts a good use of their time and resources? Why or Why not?

- I’m sure their efforts were used partially for good but they did not gather the best items and did not visit this shelter and ask the director what would be really needed. So I think they could have used their time and resources for a different better cause.

Flip the script: If you and your friends had just read the same newspaper article and wanted to do something about domestic violence in your area, what are the first steps you might take?

- I would create and carry out a survey to see how many people would support my friends and I in the fight against domestic violence and then ask them to sign a petition.

- Also I would create and put up posters to create awareness.
