2016 Bronze Award Project
"NICU Isolette Blankets"
Troop 3032 completed their bronze award by finding a need in the community. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) uses state of the art isolettes (incubators) that help protect the neonates. They needed big blankets (30+) that cover the isolettes to protect their eyes and it gives the parents a keepsake. Even though the troop couldn't see the babies, the girls knew they made a big difference by putting smiles on the parents, nurses, and staff members.

"What’s in Your Water?"
The troop designed and ran an information campaign to inform those with private wells in the upper western region of the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve about the importance of properly maintaining and regularly testing a private well.
To spread this message in their community, Troop 2239 partnered with: the Groundwater Foundation; the Chesapeake Water and Septic Homeowner Education (WaterSHEd) program - A joint effort between the University of Maryland Extension and University of Maryland School of Public Health; and with Fredericktowne Labs (a woman-owned certified well testing lab in Frederick Maryland) to provide information, testing kits and a discount coupon to private well owners in the upper western region of the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve.
The Troop distributed information at Poolesville Day and at local churches and events. The Troop also participated in projects to clean up streams and protect the local watershed.
