Doodle 4 Google
| |
Girl Scouts of the USA has partnered with the fourth annual Doodle 4 Google contest.
Open to K-12 students in the U.S., Doodle 4 Google is an opportunity of a lifetime: to design the Google.com homepage doodle for millions to see, and while you're at it, take home a $15,000 scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for your school.
In the spirit of thinking big, the theme this year is "What I'd like to do someday..." For an optional doodle party kit tailored to Girl Scouts (intro letter, flyer, awards certificate) look here.
Last year, it was reported that a Girl Scout finalist was in the Doodle 4 Google contest.

Local Girl Scout to Compete in National 2011 Miss Black Talented Teen Contest
| |
Girl Scout Selena Mitchell will travel to Washington, D.C., in August to compete in the national 2011 Miss Black Talented Teen contest, after having won the 2011 Miss Black Texas Talented Teen late last year.
As a long-time member of Girl Scouts, as well as a Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas girl board member, Mitchell has been spreading the importance of self-empowerment for a number of years. In recognition for her community service project, she was awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award in 2010 which is the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. In addition, Selena has been awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Gold Pin three years in a row for accumulating 500-plus community service hours in a calendar year.
Best of luck to you, Selena! Read more about this fabulous Girl Scout!
