After many years of selling cookies, fundraising, and volunteering, the Girl Scouts in Troop 33521 went on a milestone trip to celebrate their accomplishments as Cadettes and bridge to become Seniors. Many of the scouts have been working on independent projects for the Silver Award (on a pathway similar to Eagle Scouts projects) and all are now ninth graders.
The troop of 16 girls+ combined two troops of Brownies from Beach, Havens, and Wildwood Elementary schools when they were promoted to Piedmont Middle School. Over the past years, Girl Scouts in Troop 33521 volunteered for Lake Merritt and beach clean ups, went camping and hiking, learned first aid, made foods from their heritage, and worked on many creative projects together. They competed in a regional Girl Scout Camporee, placing in the top ten for skills such as orienteering, tent building, and fire safety.
The Girl Scouts went to Catalina Island and Ensenada on a cruise from August 4-8 to bond, adventure, and celebrate the week before starting high school.
