Local Girl Scout Troop lobbies state lawmakers for Foster Family legislation

3 members of Girl Scout Troop # 1937 talk about their project

A group of Girl Scouts in the HSE Schools is advocating for Foster Families and has taken that cause to members of the Indiana General Assembly.  Makenna Kenworthy, Grace Link, Sophie Holladay, and Katie Bergman have spent time at the Statehouse lobbying lawmakers to allow Foster Families to have free admission to Indiana State Parks and The Children’s Museum.

The legislation (SB151) is being sponsored by local State Senator Kyle Walker.  As part of the project, The girls collected data and surveyed several Foster Care families across the state and presented their findings.

Three members of Troop #1937 spoke before the Hamilton Southeastern School Board as a Snapshot of Success during last Wednesday’s regular school board meeting.
