They chose one that\u00a0provides new and used toys to kids in their community all year round.\u00a0 Before deciding on their award, they met with the founders of The Toy Corner in Savage, Minnesota to get a tour and learn more about the organization.\u00a0 They learned that parents from a few nearby communities can come to the Toy Corner to pick out a toy for a child.\u00a0 The organization also accepts new and used toys, including stuffed animals.<\/p>\n<p>That day the girls decided to hold a toy drive as well as write and film a commercial to promote the organization.\u00a0 To prepare for their commercial, they met with a woman who had experience making commercials in the radio industry to learn about the process.\u00a0 She shared how to write a script and think about the visuals you want included\u00a0to go with the script.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4402 size-medium\"

met, they worked together to write and perfect their script by incorporating ideas from each of the three girls.\u00a0 A local videographer volunteered his time to assist them with the filming and video editing, which took place on a Saturday morning at two different locations, the home of one of the scout families and The Toy Corner.\u00a0 The commercial showed a sad girl in a bedroom lacking in toys.\u00a0 Another girl noticed how sad she was and asked her if she needed a toy.\u00a0 Next you see them walking into the Toy Corner to pick out a toy.\u00a0 One of the girls then narrates information about the organization including their website, address, and donation information.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4403 alignleft\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After filming the commercial, the girls turned their time toward a toy drive.\u00a0 In January they created flyers and approached various locations to ask if they could put a collection box out.\u00a0 Collection boxes were placed at four locations around town, their elementary school, the local library, a daycare, and city hall.\u00a0 Their troop leaders helped empty the boxes several times.\u00a0 The girls also went through their own toys to donate any toys they no longer played with.\u00a0 At the end of the three week drive, they had collected enough toys, books, and games to help restock The Toy Corner after they had given away many toys during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium

to drop off their donation and share their commercial with the non-profit\u2019s founders.\u00a0 The founders loved the commercial and appreciated all the donations!\u00a0 They shared the commercial on their organization\u2019s Facebook page and posted it on their website.\u00a0 Their project is sustainable because the commercial will continue to be used by the organization in future years.\u00a0 The troop also helped spread the word about this newer community organization to new families through the posters they put up to promote the toy drive.<\/p>\n<p>The girls learned that people are grateful when you help them and that people are grateful to help a good cause.\u00a0 They also had fun!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The members of Troop 17092 are Sydney, Lilyann, and Mahika.\u00a0 They were in fifth grade when they completed their Bronze Award Project.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch their commercial here: <strong><a
