Girl Scout Gold Award | Help Needed!

Hi all! I'm a Girl Scout who has a deeply rooted passion for the outdoors and am currently making a deeper dive into the industry through my work, education, and personal projects.

One of those is my Girl Scout Gold Award, which is a project that I've centered around helping youth to form connections with one another and the outdoors. To do this, I planned, organized, and ran a weekend-long camping trip for my Girl Scout service unit, and used that event to test run programming that I later used for an Outdoor Leadership Day that I organized, an event that brought the 6th-grade class of a local middle school- nearly 140 kids- to the camp I work at for a day full of fun activities that allowed the students to develop and practice different styles of leadership, communication, and teamwork. As the final part of my project, I created this folder of resources to assist others in bringing similar opportunities to youth in their area.

Although it is tailored to a Girl Scout community camping weekend, most of these resources can be referenced or adapted for outdoor events by any organization. I would deeply appreciate it if you shared this with anyone you know who is interested in planning an outdoor event to help me complete my project!

"'You have bestowed upon me the greatest honor you could,' [Girl Scout Kate Lindley] said. 'Greater than that of any proclamation… in your censorship of my Gold Award project.'

"Her summary detailed her creation of 'Banned Book Nooks,' which granted kids across the county access to pieces of literature the school board removed from school shelves. Her work also involved the creation of a 'Free-To-Read' app, which educates users about banned books and where to find them. The board chose to leave out the word 'banned' and limited describing pieces of Lindley’s project, effectively, in Lindley’s words, censoring her award.

...Other community members — including troop leaders and former Girl Scouts — spoke out in support of Lindley."

The irony kills me here, but I admire the hell out of this young person. Congratulations to her, and to the Girl Scouts and other community members who came out to support her. Don't let the censors win. Kate Lindley and her supporters have shown you one way to fight them.

I wrote a book!

I wrote a book that I then formatted to be easier for those with dyslexia to read (following a dyslexia-friendly style guide). It is written with early readers in mind (second-graders were my target audience), but I am proud to say that it has so far been enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Synopsis: Jane Elizabeth and Will are ready to compete in their town’s talent show. However, a theft threatens to stop them from winning. Can they discover who stole Grandma Kay’s clock and win the talent show?

The book is titled "The Mystery of the Old Clock" in honor of the first Nancy Drew book

Welcome to the Shining Light Writing Event!

!Sign-up link!

Schedule and other details / explanation below (Note: This is not for any specific fandom, but writing about a fandom is allowed (hence tags))

!! Warning: This event / blog talks about, references, and deals with many sensitive mental health topics, which may be triggering to some people. Interact at your own risk. Any issues that arise from this point on are on you !!

What is this event? This is an online writing event focused on different types of mental health issues/illnesses/conditions, and how styles of writing can be used to help improve & bring awareness to them!

Who can sign up, & what are you looking for? There will not be applications, instead there are open sign ups that will close once an undecided number of people have filled it out. Anyone who is 16 or older and who writes in any style is welcome to join! Poetry, short story, anything. The word range for a typical style writing piece is 300 to 3,000 words. You can focus on an original character, fandom character, or real person in your life.

When are things happening? The Discord server will open at the end of February, and a PDF of the compiled works will be released Mid-May. See the schedule graphic above for more dates, and the schedule channel in the Discord has even more specific info.

Where is it being held? There is a Discord server, the link to which will be shared in an email.

Who is running it? @th3-dark-abyss is the head mod and organizer of this event! There is a team of five other mods helping, who will be credited as well.

Why is this event a thing anyway? Abyss (that's me) is working on their Girl Scout Gold Award! It's the highest award that a scout their age can earn; it requires 80+ service hours towards a project of their choosing that has a lasting, positive impact on a community. There have been a few hurdles, but I'm pushing through and I'd really love if you applied and/or shared the posts wherever you can!

Some Rules / Guidelines ~ We will be dealing with many sensitive topics that are very real issues. Please be kind and considerate. ~ Participating in this event is for over 16 years old only. If you are younger than 16, your sign up will be deleted immediately. (Under 16s feel free to reblog and interact though, at your own risk.) ~ Discrimination or hate of any kind will not be tolerated. ~ The point of this is to spread awareness through writing, to show how creative writing can help improve mental health and well-being, and to convey different people's unique experiences. It is not to stereotype, villainize, or put issues in boxes. ~ Do not make assumptions or state things as facts when they are not. ~ Do not discount others and their experiences just because you aren't familiar. ~ The askbox is open if you have any other questions or comments!

If you are having a mental health crisis and need help, contact 988 (National Mental Health Hotline). Here is a website with some help hotlines if you need to reach out for help. (I am in the US, so this is likely for my area. If this doesn't have one, let me know and I will help you find a line for your area.)

You are not alone ❤️

Keep your eyes out for the sign-up form, and please enjoy!!

I have this small, deeply personal headcanon that after his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham's home was so unbearably quiet that he started--just barely, just one or two words--to speak out loud to her as if she was still there.

"I've been accepted to the Akademiya, Grandmother."

"I passed my promotion exams."

"I debated with Haravatat's sage."

Just that, and quiet again.

But one day, it's: "I met someone strange."

"He keeps showing up when I'm trying to study."

"We don't agree on anything. Still..."

"I made a friend."

"Today, Kaveh and I were researching--"

"It's already dark. I didn't realize we spent so long in Razan Garden. Kaveh wanted to hear about my article--"

"He's going to be furious when I tell him the whole point for his portion of the lecture is based on a false predicate--"

The house where his grandmother used to be gets a little louder again; the noise lasts a little longer.

Until one day, when there's no words at all.

One day, when there's just the sound of a single sob, and then a long, long silence.
