Girl Scouts Bring Smiles to Boston's Floating Hospital for Children

Category: Kids -- Subcategory: News

To earn their Silver Award, the second highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve, five Medfield 8th grade Girl Scouts from Troop 74900 collected used DVDs and character Band- Aids to entertain the children at Boston's Floating Hospital for Children, part of Tufts Medical Center. After learning that the hospital had just gotten a new DVD player but had very few DVDs, the girls went to work, putting up boxes and flyers around town to collect used DVDs for the hospital. At the same time they collected fun character Band-Aids, which make the children smile after they get a shot. The project was a huge success. The girls collected more than 300 G, PG, and PG-13 rated DVDs and filed them in DVD binders for the hospital's Child Life Center. They also collected more than 150 boxes of Band-Aids - more than 3,000 individual Band-Aids.

To earn the Silver Award, Girl Scouts must choose a project to help improve their community in some way, and spend forty hours working on it. The Girl Scouts from Troop 74900 - Michaela Carrieri, Anna Krah, Erin Mulvihill, Ellen Tucker and Julianne Testa - will receive recognition for their award at the end of the year bridging ceremony held by the Medfield Girl Scouts.
