[1]Girl Scouts Promote Anti-bullying Message

A group of 5th-grade girls are ready to change the world.

Members of Junior Girl Scout Troop 20384 are sending the message ‘Be a Buddy, Not a Bully,’ by working on a Bronze Award project as part of their effort to stop bullying.

The troop shared their anti-bullying message using a PowerPoint presentation, a coloring page, and word searches at a National Day of Service event held at a local high school, according to The Alternative Press [1]. These resources will be used in a local elementary school’s anti-bullying curriculum.
