So, as we say farewell, we hope that our now completed Silver Award will have a lasting impact on you, our global community. We will continue to go on with Girl Scouts, and who knows, we might even earn the Gold Award. We will definitely let you know when we earn our Gold Awards. The only downside to the Gold Award is that we can't work as a group. So we will earn three individual Gold Awards. So, with this lasting memory of a project, we say goodbye (for now).Thank you so much for following our journey through the Silver Award.
~Jillian, Margaret, and Alison

Presentation Update
We finished a plan of our pro-peace workshop; it's pretty cool. We've set it up like it's in steps, and they're pretty vague. As of right now, this script is just a skeleton, which we're going to build off of. We estimate that this workshop would take between 45 minutes to an hour to present. So, here's our draft...
1.) Introduce ourselves and our mission.
2.) Split the kids into groups, and have each group decide what they think peace is.
3.) Read The Peace Book by Todd Parr. If everyone thought that peace was this simple, wouldn't life be easier?
4.) Split into same groups, and rework their thoughts of peace, after reading The Peace Book.
5.) Move onto team-building activities. Part of peace is getting along with everyone. Team-building activites expand your horizons, and help you come together as a group.
6.) Play the human knot. Relationships can get complicated. Peace, kindness, and understanding can help straighten them out. This is what you learned by playing this game today.
7.) Play Stand-Up. You guys had to rely on each other to help you stand up. Trust comes from peace and understanding.
So this is the beginning of our presentation. We think that this script will drive home our message perfectly: teaching peace, kindness, and understanding to all kids, and teaching them how to be peaceful in their everyday lives.

Step 3: Build Your Team
The third step in the Silver Award was "build your team." You can work on your Silver Award in a group of three or four people, or you can work alone. Our troop chose to work as a group. We had all done our bronze award individually, so we wanted to work together this time. So far, it has been an exciting experience!
