That isolation was real for adults, just like it was for kids.
Their Girl Scout leader, Pam McGregor, noticed that return to in-person meetings brought a little nervousness among the elementary school aged-group after they had spent so much time apart. They were all coping with months of stress, fear, grief and uncertainty. That sparked a conversation that turned into something good.
“The pandemic has only made things worse,” Marcy Melvin with Texas-based The Hackett Center said. “The truth is, children can only be resilient if they have the skills and the tools and a trusted, caring adult who can support them through really hard times.”
Girl Scout gets veterans accolades

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6873 in Abilene honored a young woman as their Girl Scout of the Year during ceremonies last week.
Olivia Hessock, now a freshman at Angelo State University, received the annual honor. She is the daughter of Jennifer and Norman Hessock of Abilene.
Hessock graduated from Wylie in 2020 – one of the seniors with the misfortune of losing much of their senior year to the COVID pandemic. But before that, she was obviously quite busy.
Before moving to Abilene, she lived in Alaska, where, as a Junior Girl Scout, she earned the Bronze award. Among other requirements, she completed a project teaching badges to Brownies (grades 2-3) and participating in food drives for local food pantries.

Huntington Beach resident Savannah Larson paused for just a second before naming her favorite Girl Scout cookie.
“My favorite is the Peanut Butter Sandwich,” she said.
Why?
“Because it’s good.”
Savannah, a seventh-grader at Talbert Middle School, knows that many people have a go-to Girl Scout cookie. Some swear by Thin Mints that have been frozen. Others are quickly becoming fans of the Girl Scouts of Orange County’s new offering for 2021, the French toast-inspired Toast-Yay.
