As many as 100 Girl Scouts from troops across the Pikes Peak region teamed up to collect items for Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. The organization created an Amazon Wish List, which included peanut butter, kennels, hand sanitizer, dog treats, food, toys, and more. On Wednesday, September 30, 2020, Girl Scouts and their families stopped by the parking lot for the Rocky Mountain Vibes baseball stadium to drop off the items they collected. This event followed all local COVID-19 guidelines.
Girl Scouts of Colorado’s new Chief Executive Officer Leanna Clark, along with her adopted rescue dog Sabe, were also at the event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Colorado Girl Scouts have not had the opportunity to meet or see Leanna in person. She thanked the Girl Scouts for their hard work on the project and presented them with her special CEO patch. It features Sabe, along with Colorado’s state flower, the columbine. The patch ties to things about Girl Scouts that are important to Leanna: friendships, leadership opportunities, and ways to get outdoors and appreciate the beautiful state we call home!
