Courage and Miss Media

It takes Courage to be willing to speak about Girl Scouts with the media, and these girls are doing just that! Courage Elf and CEO Elaine visited the Miss Media training and shared some tips on getting across a great message. Slow down, stay on message, and smile!

Confidence Elf Visits "Forever Green Bash"

Confidence Elf visited the "Forever Green Bash" hosted by GSU at the Council Resource Center. There were booths sharing information on caring for the environment and recycling. "We all live downstream" and "No Idiling" to name a few, including booths selling holiday crafts made from recycled items. The necklaces with bottle cap pendants were a hit! Sarah M. is the "girl champion" for the national Forever Green program for Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. and is pictured with some of her friends and Board Chair, Debbie Nielson. Congratulations to Sarah for this honor, and for leading all of us in understanding and cherishing our environment.

Confidence Elf Travels to California

Confidence Elf traveled to California in November to attend the Bay area musical "Lucky Stiff" directed and choreographed by Amy Nielson, Girl Scouts of Utah alumnae. Amy received her Gold Award in 1998. Confidence Elf was invited into the sound room and later was in a picture with Amy and her mom, Debbie.

Generations of Courage

Talk about a Girl Scout family! Pictured here with Courage Elf are three generations of Girl Scouts. Dorothy Case, who was the troop leader for her three daughters in Ogden and Brigham City, daughters Terri and Patti Case, and Terri's daughter, Sarah, who also goes by Cool Moose at camp. This family has adopted GSU's CEO, Elaine Pace, adding another dimension to their Girl Scout journey. Written with love.

Courage knows sports!

Lots of courageous and confident girls love sports, and Courage Elf is no exception. She is pictured here with a real Heisman Trophy! Many thanks to Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers, Nebraska '72, for bringing his award to share with the Utah Community.

Yay for GSU Alumnae and Friends

Courage comforts and celebrates a treasured volunteer

Beloved Girl Scout volunteer, Barbara Hawkins, died in October 2009. Courage and Elaine traveled to her funeral service in Tooele and met these three girls - and more than a hundred other people - whose lives were touched by Barbara. We came together in both sadness and celebration as we remembered Barbara and all her contributions to our community.
