Elisa of Newnan was never going to allow a limb difference slow her down. Through Girl Scouting, Elisa has been able to explore activities she otherwise might not have access to. From horseback riding to camping to being the top-selling cookie seller in her troop, Elisa has marched forward, determined to try it all.

Elisa recently received a prosthetic “Hero” arm, designed to look like one of her favorite characters, Elsa from Disney’s Frozen. This will allow her to finally do a favorite camping activity on her own: archery.

Elisa often finds herself answering other children’s questions about her arm and teaching them an important lesson: Never stop believing in yourself.

Temple, a student at Chamblee High School runs her own online STEM education and retail site to get her peers, especially girls, excited about science and technology. She's one of Time Magazine’s “Kid of the Year” nominees and many people are paying attention to this young entrepreneur. Recently, Nick News saluted her, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture featured her documentary, and President Joe Biden recognized her at a White House Women’s History Month event.

In addition to her demanding role as a business owner, Temple has been an active Girl Scout for more than 10 years and served as a 2023 Girl Scout National Convention motivational speaker with a clear message to girls: Never stop dreaming and doing.

DeKalb County Girl Scout Troop 14567 knows firsthand that finding accurate, age-friendly health information online is challenging. Spurred to action, the girls reached out to the David J. Sencer CDC Museum. They soon partnered on a public health patch Girl Scouts nationwide could earn after learning about mental health, bullying, and respiratory health issues.

The museum hosted its first annual Girl Scout Day, giving Atlanta-area girls the opportunity to earn the patch in person, explore public health careers through interactive exhibits, participate in a women-in-science scavenger hunt, and learn about national health concerns in fields such as toxicology and epidemiology.

The troop earned the prestigious Girl Scout Silver Award and were named “Silver Award Women of Distinction” for their excellence in community leadership. They were also named by the City of Tucker as Citizens of the Month. Through taking action on a topic important to them, Troop 14567 is teaching others: Never stop trying to make a difference.

"I want to inspire girls like me to become a Girl Scout. I did this project to help bring awareness to tough issues that everyone faces."
