It's the Season of Awards! 
Girl Scouts and Girl Scout Troops are doing great community service as they complete their Gold and Bronze award projects!
For her Gold Award, Callie Q. wanted to educate pre-teen girls of the changes they can expect to see as they grow into a young women. Callie said girls are surrounded by false information and worked to make a difference in their lives.
 Marissa Y. worked with the Children's Hospital Central California for her Gold Award to create a library for the patients to use in the Child Life Room. In the end she labeled, sorted and organized over 1,000 fiction and non-fiction children's books.
Troop 2930 collected clothes, shoes, toys and school supplies for foster children in Fresno County for their Bronze Award.
Thank you, Girl Scouts!
