Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string."
--Pelé,
Brazilian soccer player
We want our girls to be enthusiastic about their Gold Award Projects! At the same time, the work they need to do must be challenging and meaningful. Oh, and we want them to have fun!
Perhaps part of our role as a Project Advisor, parent or troop advisor is to be the girls' cheerleading squad! (As well as chauffeur, of course!) We are here to encourage, nag, help search out and get the girl to do her absolute best. There will be tears, smiles and everything inbetween, to be sure!
The girl needs to pick an issue that she is excited about and that has meaning for her. She needs to have a strong connection to those she means to help. And she needs to be able to see what success could look like. Pele would probably say that what she really needs is enthusiasm that she can sustain herself, and that we can help maintain during the tough times.
Wishing ALL our girls the enthusiasm to create and execute quality Gold Award Take Action Projects!
