They made a plan to gather donations. Plans included talking to veterinarians and veterinary medication reps to get supplies. The scouts were also planning to ask vets to perform the surgery. The girls prepared lists, plans and funding sources. They even practiced asking people for help and where ready to roll.<\/p>\n<p>Then they heard about a local family who was in great need. This family had their lives turned upside down overnight. Their 18 month old son McCall had been in a tragic accident and had been life flighted two states away. They had no idea how long they would be there, or what McCall\u2019s prognosis was.<\/p>\n<h3>Changing Bronze Award Plans to Help a Local Family<\/h3>\n<p>These 4 outstanding scouts dropped all of their plans and started planning a chili dinner fundraiser for the family. People in the community also started dropping off items for the girls to do something with to help raise money. One donor suggested a online auction. Some of the troop moms helped the girls set up an online silent auction.<\/p>\n<p>Within 6 weeks these 4 girls had planned a dinner, shopped, cooked and hosted a community free will donation chili dinner. They also had collected donations and set up a online auction. The girls had created the page, took pictures of all the items and listed them with a starting bid. After that they asked the moms to take over closing the auction and handling the payments and shipping items to winning buyers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;\">McCall had been released from the hospital a few days before and while he could not attend the dinner, his family came to say thanks. The best part for all of us leaders and moms? McCall\u2019s mom held her hand up in the Girl Scout sign and repeated the Promise and Law.\u00a0 None of this crew had any idea we had helped a sister scout in a time of need. I can tell you that not a dry eye was to be found amongst the scouts and helpers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When all was said and done this group of dedicated, awesome girls had earned a pretty substantial amount of money for this family. In an even cooler move the girls voted to not tell the public what they had earned. The girls felt the family was pretty quiet and was already overwhelmed by the support they had received.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5907\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5907\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5907 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3574-Bronze-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Changing Bronze Award Plans to Help a Local Family\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3574-Bronze-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3574-Bronze-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3574-Bronze-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3574-Bronze-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5907\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Award Ceremony: Alicia, Violet, Carly (McCall\u2019s mom), Isla and Teah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Ready For Their Next Project<\/h3>\n<p>While doing the Bronze Award paperwork the girls realized they had put in over 50 hours on this project!
