Zoey shares why she choose mental health awareness for her project and the difference methods she used to increase awareness.

More from Zoey: I began my journey as a Girl Scout when I was in second grade so I was considered a Brownie at the time. I stuck with the same troop for the next twelve years. I was lucky enough to have had the most kindhearted and influential leaders as well as some lifelong friends. I was able to receive both my Bronze Award and my Gold Award. My Gold Award was a snapshot of my love for mental health and the desire to end the stigma that is around mental health as a whole. I chose to go about the topic of mental health due to being a survivor myself as well as having family and friends who have also fought their own battles with mental health. High school seemed to be the best example of where a lot of the stigma lies which is a huge reason I decided to pursue a subject seen as " taboo" in the eyes of those in my school specifically. After high school, I decided to continue my education at UNC Charlotte to receive two bachelor's degrees; one in Criminal Justice and the other in Psychology. I then hope to continue and get a bachelor's in either area and possibly a Ph.D in the future as well.

Alex shares why music is important for Alzheimer's patients and how her Grandfather influenced her project. She also shares her troop Bronze project, which is still available.

More from Alex:

I started as a Girl Scout Brownie with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois' Troop 8797 in 2007.

My favorite projects were:

• Webkinz Drive for the children of Ronald McDonald House, Iowa city.
• Water Conservation/Preservation Awareness Project.
• No Texting Project
• Careless Corey Project
• Kids Caring Kits Project
• Dane County Humane Society Drive

My other passions include:

• Tai kwon Do (7 years)
• Creative Writing Instructor at MCDS (3 years)
• Acting in theater productions (5 years)
• Piano Lessons (10 years)
• Basketball (3 years)
• Volleyball (2 years)
• Kumon (4 years)

Last summer, I interned at U.W. Badger Lab which specializes in biomechanical engineering where I loved working with and coding robots. I will attend U.W. Madison this fall to become a Mechanical Engineer.

Lydia shares her experiences painting a large-scale jungle mural with educational plaques. She describes what happened when the leadership at the organization she was working with changed and how that affected her project.

More from Lydia:

My name is Lydia England. I am in the 11th Grade and attend iuniversityprep, which is a virtual school in the Grapevine Colleyville ISD. Although I was born in Houston, I have lived in University Park, Texas, since I was eighteen months old. In the Second Grade, I joined Brownies and was on Troop 3201. Eventually, I became a Girl Scout Junior, Cadette, Senior and finally an Ambassador. I earned my Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards during my career as a Girl Scout.

Along with Girl Scouting, Ballet has also been a lifelong passion of mine. Up until this year, I trained in the Professional Division at Texas Ballet Theater. In September, I was offered a Trainee Position at Avant Chamber Ballet Company which is a professional ballet company here in Dallas. I have had the opportunity to perform alongside a live orchestra this past year in ballets including The Nutcracker and Ramonda. Over the course of the past four years, I have placed in the Top 3, Top 12 and Top 24 at the prestigious international ballet competition, YAGP. My other hobbies include playing the piano, sewing, doing art and speaking French. Also, in my spare time, I have a small business on Etsy selling hand decorated pointe shoes, hair bows, doll dresses and now face masks.
