Growing
up, Brianna loved to put on plays and puppet shows for her little sister. She
donated a children’s puppet theater to the non-profit organization, Completely
Kids. With help from her friends and family, Brianna designed and created the
puppet theater and sponsored thirty puppets. She also wrote ten different
scripts emphasizing “heart” lessons and led a donation drive to collect costumes
so the children could dress up and role-play as their favorite “Community Hero”
such as firemen, policemen, and doctors and be part of the plays. The puppet
theater will help the children at Completely Kids learn to share, be kind to
one another, gain confidence and many more valuable skills. Completely Kids has
allocated funds to replenish the puppets so children may enjoy the theater for
years to come.

Girl Scouts 2013 National Young Women of Distinction: Brianna
The
earlier young children learn "heart lessons" like caring, sharing,
and treating others as they would like to be treated, the more successful they
will be in life. That's the theory that powered the Gold Award project by this
Nebraska Girl Scout, who wrote plays and built puppet theater sets in
partnership with a local children's organization that will teach and entertain
generations to come.
