The girls wanted to help NICU families by donating Girl Scout Cookies to the hospital.What’s more special than NICU babies? Two Girl Scouts who were once NICU babies themselves, returning with arms full of cookies and hearts full of gratitude.
Isabella and Cheyenne, members of Girl Scout Troop 670 from Punta Gorda and students at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School in Port Charlotte, recently delivered boxes of Girl Scout cookies to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. The donation was part of the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida’s Gift of Caring program, which allows community members to purchase Girl Scout Cookies for donation to local heroes and those in need.
Isabella was born at Sarasota Memorial in 2018, weighing just 1 lb. 10 oz. at 27 weeks. Cheyenne was born at Golisano Children’s Hospital in Fort Myers in 2017, at 35 weeks and weighing 3 lbs. 13 oz. Now sisters in scouting—a Daisy and a Brownie—the two girls are giving back to the same kind of medical staff and families who once cared for them.
“After much thought and consideration, we couldn’t think of a better donation for these two girls to make, than to a NICU,” said troop volunteer Chrystal Ortiz. “What a way to give back to those who continue to care and nurture these babies, like they were both cared for.”
“The life of NICU parents and their families, can be a long and rough journey filled with heartbreak and setbacks,” she added. “Maybe these cookies will bring comfort to parents sitting there day after day, hour after hour, listening to the beeps of machines.”
In 2025, Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida donated 41,587 packages of cookies through Gift of Caring, bringing smiles and encouragement to frontline workers and deployed military members alike. Girl Scouts are hand-delivering donations across the council footprint in Sarasota, Manatee, and Lee counties, and beyond.
Before leaving Sarasota Memorial, Isabella and Cheyenne visited the hospital chapel to pray for the babies, families, and staff in the NICU. Their gesture served as a heartfelt thank-you to the medical professionals who provide critical care to the tiniest patients and hope to their families.
Troop 670 donated their Gift of Caring Cookies to Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s NICU.
Isabella was born at Sarasota Memorial in 2018, weighing just 1 lb. 10 oz. at 27 weeks. Cheyenne was born at Golisano Children’s Hospital in Fort Myers in 2017, at 35 weeks and weighing 3 lbs. 13 oz.
Kaylee Jones, a 17-year-old Girl Scout from the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, is on the verge of making history. As she works toward earning her prestigious Gold Award, the bill she has spent nearly two years advocating for—Florida Senate Bill 1690—is set to be signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The bill expands the use of Safe Haven Baby Boxes across Florida. These secure, temperature-controlled boxes are installed at designated fire stations and hospitals, providing a safe, anonymous way for parents in crisis to surrender their newborns without fear, shame, or legal repercussions.
For Kaylee, this mission is rooted in her own life story as a child who was adopted.
“I know first-hand that not all moms, and especially teenage moms, always have a plan for after the birth of their child. “I was inspired to work on this project due to my past. My birth parents were 16 years old and did not have supportive families,” she said.
Her birth father tried to care for her during the first two months of her life, but ultimately made the difficult decision to place her for adoption, giving her a second chance.
“I am so thankful that I was not illegally abandoned, and this strengthens my desire to help prevent baby abandonment deaths,” she shared.
Her Gold Award project combines public education and legislative advocacy to raise awareness about the benefits of Safe Haven Baby Boxes and increase their availability in Florida communities.
“Women in a crisis pregnancy situation will now have a completely anonymous option to surrender their infant. It is my hope that offering these baby boxes will help eliminate baby abandonments. Using these baby boxes will provide the mother an opportunity with no shame, no blame, and no name.”
She is hopeful the new law will reassure moms in crisis that their babies can be safely and lovingly placed for adoption, without fear of legal repercussions for the birth parents.
She credits much of her confidence and communication skills to her 11 years in Girl Scouts.
“Ever since I started Girl Scouts 12 years ago, I have greatly improved my skills in public speaking and how to get into contact with important people. Doing cookie booths helped me learn how to communicate with people and how to organize my time. Cookie booths taught me to shoot for the sky with my goals, and I’ve carried that over to my Gold Award.”
Throughout her advocacy journey, Kaylee met with lawmakers, collaborated with nonprofits, and educated the public on the need for safe, legal alternatives for surrendering infants. Her work helped garner support for SB 1690, which she believes will help save lives.
“I have learned a lot about the political and legal process and that it is hard to get everyone to agree on an issue even if it will benefit the citizens. Working on this project for nearly two years has taught me you need to persevere and be determined to get the results you want. I have met several politicians and other people who were able to help make a big impact and help the bill get passed.”
Kaylee’s work is not done. Now that the legislative arm of her project is complete, she is turning her focus to serving moms in her own local community by working with the Fort Myers Fire Department and Safe Haven Baby Box to install a box right here in Fort Myers.
“These baby boxes are installed due to public interest. All you need to do is contact Safe Haven Baby Box and ask how to begin the process. They will walk you through how to contact fire stations and find one that is open to having a baby box installed. Once there is a contract in place, then they need to help find a contractor and an alarm system to install the baby box. Once there is a contract, fundraising can begin.”
She also shared a heartfelt message for mothers facing difficult decisions.
“I want mothers in crisis to know they don’t have to do this alone. They can call the hotline and talk to someone about what they are going through. They will be informed of their options, receive emotional support and get help to make the best decision for them and their baby. There should be no shame, no blame and no name. The choice to safely surrender your infant may be hard, but sometimes the best choices are the hardest ones to make.”
Based on recent research published in The State of the Florida Girl Report, we know that when girls succeed, communities thrive. That’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate the amazing businesses that joined our Cookie Business Partner Program this spring! 🍪
Through this program, local businesses stepped up to support 93 Girl Scouts across the Gulf Coast by purchasing over 12,000 boxes of cookies—giving these young entrepreneurs the boost they need to power a year full of adventure, leadership, and skill-building.
More Than Just Cookies—Fueling Girl Scouts’ Dreams
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world. It teaches girls essential skills like goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. But it’s so much more than just selling cookies—it’s about building confidence, independence, and leadership.
Thanks to the support of these incredible businesses, Girl Scouts in our community will embark on camping trips, outdoor adventures like swimming and kayaking, art projects, STEM activities, and service projects that give back to their communities. Their future is bright, and it all starts with a box of cookies!

A group of Junior Scouts and volunteers standing on a white bridge together A group of Junior Scouts and volunteers standing on a white bridge together
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Girl Scouts, dedicating their time, energy, and passion to empower young girls across Florida. Their unwavering commitment not only enriches the lives of individual scouts but also strengthens our communities as a whole.
The Impact of Volunteers
Girl Scout volunteers wear many hats—they are mentors, educators, confidants, and role models. Through their guidance, girls learn invaluable skills, from leadership and teamwork to problem-solving and community service. Volunteers create safe and nurturing environments where girls can explore their interests, build confidence, and develop resilience.
Insights from the State of the Florida Girl Report
The recent State of the Florida Girl Report sheds light on the challenges faced by young girls in our state and underscores the vital role volunteers play in addressing these issues:
Alarmingly, 52% of high school girls reported feeling sad or hopeless for two or more weeks in a row, reflecting a 40% increase in depression over the past decade.
1 in 4 girls seriously considered attempting suicide, showing a troubling rise of more than 60% in the last 10 years.
1 in 8 girls miss school due to feeling unsafe
Girls are 1.5 times more likely than boys to stay home after experiencing bullying.
The State of the Florida Girl Report also confirms something we already knew—Girl Scout volunteers are changing and saving girls’ lives. One girl surveyed said, “My troop leader saved my life.”
Some other heartwarming facts from the report:
89% of Girl Scouts in Florida report that their troop leader “cares about me as a person.”
84% describe that their troop leader “makes me feel important.”
Donating time to build positive relationships with girls is perhaps the most simple, yet effective, way to sew more systems of support into our communities for girls.
These statistics highlight the pressing need for positive adult influences in the lives of young girls. Volunteers provide the support and encouragement necessary to navigate these challenges, fostering environments where girls feel safe, valued, and capable.
A Call to Action
In light of these findings, the importance of volunteering with the Girl Scouts has never been more evident. Whether you can give a few hours, a few weeks, or a few months, your involvement can make an incredible impact on the life of every girl.
By becoming a volunteer, you contribute to building a community where every girl is celebrated and valued.
If you’re inspired to make a positive change and support the next generation of female leaders, consider volunteering with the Girl Scouts. Your unique skills and experiences can help Girl Scouts dream big, explore new interests, and spark their imaginations.
Together, we can create a brighter future for all girls in Florida.
At Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, we believe in the power of community and giving back. That’s why we’re asking our members, volunteers, and supporters to take action and help us advocate for the Charitable Act (H.R.801/S.317). This bipartisan legislation will create a non-itemized, universal charitable deduction, empowering taxpayers to give back to their communities—something we know is vital to strengthening the programs and initiatives that make a difference in the lives of so many, including our own Girl Scouts.
Why is the Charitable Act Important?
This bill will help millions of Americans continue to give back to causes they care about. The Universal Charitable Deduction (also known as the Non-Itemizer Deduction) allows individuals and couples to donate to charity and claim a deduction, even if they don’t itemize their taxes. This helps us keep the momentum going in charitable giving, which has shown a proven increase in donations—especially from those with adjusted gross income of less than $30,000.
For Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, individual donations are critical to the success of our programming, providing resources and support for our 6,200 Girl Scout members. Nationally, Girl Scouts have reported incredible outcomes:
90% of Florida Girl Scouts say Girl Scouts gives them a sense of belonging.
99% of Girl Scouts feel safe in the organization.
Girl Scout alums are more likely to attain a higher level of education than their peers.
By supporting this bill, you will help ensure that these life-changing outcomes continue for generations to come.
How Can You Help?
We’re asking for you to take a moment to write to your U.S. Representatives and Senators to urge them to support the Charitable Act. It’s simple, and we’ve made it even easier by providing a pre-written letter that you can download and include in your email. Here’s what you need to do:
Find Your District Representative: Below is a list of Representatives and the Florida districts they serve. Look for your district and contact the corresponding Representative.
3. Send your email: Craft your email using the draft provided below. Don’t forget to personalize it with your Representative’s name and send it with the attached letter.

Dear [INSERT REPRESENTATIVE NAME],
On behalf of Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, thank you for your ongoing support of the Girl Scout Movement.
I write to ask for [REPRESENTATIVE NAME]’s support of the Charitable Act (H.R.801/S.317). This bipartisan piece of legislation will create a non-itemized, universal charitable deduction which will empower taxpayers to give back to their communities. Please see the attached document for a letter from the CEO of Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, Mary Anne Servian.
Yours in Girl Scouting, [YOUR NAME]
It’s time for us to make our voices heard!
As a member of the Girl Scout community, your support can help us continue to provide valuable programs and opportunities to young girls across Florida. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that future generations benefit from the power of charitable giving.

The Girl Scout motto is “Be prepared,” and seventeen-year-old Catelyn Holcomb is embodying this by making a life-saving impact in her community through her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Operation Hometown Heroes.
This innovative project, developed in collaboration with the Sanibel Fire Department, provided hands-on emergency response training to local youth, equipping them with critical skills in fire safety, CPR, and first aid.
Operation Hometown Heroes was designed to address the lack of accessible emergency response education among young people. Through a two-day interactive camp, Holcomb and her team empowered third through eighth graders with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations. Campers learned essential life-saving skills, including how to perform CPR, use a fire extinguisher, and administer basic first aid.
“Increasing public awareness and educating the community was the goal of my Gold Award project,” said Holcomb. “By educating children through the camp—and, in turn, their friends and family—I aimed to increase the number of people in my community who know how to perform CPR. This could potentially raise the percentage of individuals who receive immediate CPR above 40% and improve overall survival rates.”
The camp featured demonstrations by local firefighters, police officers, and EMTs, offering participants a firsthand look at the roles of first responders. Hands-on activities included fire extinguisher training, emergency simulations, and interactive lessons on when and how to call 911. The participants also dissected animals and met with detectives to learn about police work.
The success of the program was made possible through the support of local sponsors, including the Sanibel-Captiva Chamber of Commerce, Sanibel Glass, Costco, Sanibel Deli, and The Magic Bus. Their contributions helped provide essential materials such as t-shirts, meals, and emergency preparedness resources.
Holcomb’s efforts align with national initiatives aimed at improving public safety awareness and emergency response preparedness. Recognizing the impact of her project, she has begun developing a curriculum that will allow other fire departments to implement similar training programs in their communities.
About the Girl Scout Gold Award
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, awarded to Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts who identify a community issue and develop sustainable solutions. Gold Award projects require at least 80 hours of work and demonstrate leadership, creativity, and lasting impact.
Girl Scout Troop 258 has made a paws-itive impact on their community through a heartfelt Take Action project benefiting Cape Coral Animal Shelter.
As part of their journey to earning the Bronze Award—the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior (grades 4-5) can achieve—the troop worked together to provide comfort and care to shelter animals.
Audrey W., Elizabeth K., Rebekah M., Scarlet M., Stella P., Sophia J., Zahmiya V., and Jazzlyn B. will receive their Bronze Awards at the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida’s annual Young Women of Distinction Ceremony on May 18th.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award recognizes young leaders who identify a community need, develop a sustainable solution, and take action to make a lasting difference. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and service, Girl Scouts learn valuable skills while making meaningful contributions to their communities.
After selecting the shelter as their focus, each team member brainstormed ways to help and met with a shelter representative to present their ideas. They learned about the work the volunteers at animal shelter do, and met some of the pets who live there.
They then put their plan into action by sewing blankets and hand-making pet toys. In order to accomplish their goals the Girl Scouts learned a new skill – sewing! They also learned baking skills, and baked homemade dog treats for the shelter pets.
Their biggest undertaking involved crafting special satchels designed to comfort newly adopted puppies and kittens. These snuggle satchels not only help the animals feel secure in their new homes but also protect their new owners from scratches.
They also visited the animal shelter to learn about their work and to play with some of the animals who live there.
Show your appreciation for bus drivers by participating in School Bus Driver Appreciation Day on April 22nd!
Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida celebrated School Bus Safety Week in Oct. 2023. (Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida)
Every school day, bus drivers ensure that students get to and from school safely, often going above and beyond to provide a friendly smile, a word of encouragement, and a sense of security. School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, taking place from April 22, is the perfect opportunity to recognize their hard work and dedication.
For Girl Scouts, this is a chance to come together and express gratitude in a meaningful way. On Tuesday, April 22 Girl Scouts can personally deliver thank-you cards to the drivers who keep our communities moving.
Why School Bus Driver Appreciation Day Matters
School bus drivers are often unsung heroes, rising early and navigating busy roads to transport students safely. Many develop strong relationships with the children they drive, offering encouragement and ensuring a safe, positive experience each day. Their job requires patience, attentiveness, and care, and this special day is dedicated to recognizing their invaluable service.
How Girl Scouts Can Participate
Participating in this initiative is simple and impactful. Troops are encouraged to:
✔ Download and print thank-you cards or design your own. ✔ Fill them out together as a troop with personal messages of appreciation. ✔ Wear Girl Scout uniforms to proudly represent the organization. ✔ Deliver the thank-you cards in person to bus drivers.
By delivering thank-you cards directly to the drivers, Girl Scouts can brighten their day and remind them that their work is truly valued. This simple act of kindness strengthens community ties and helps young girls develop empathy and gratitude—key values in Girl Scouting.
Share the Appreciation!
We’d love to see your troop in action! Take photos (with permission) and share them on social media using #ThankYouBusDrivers and tag our account @GirlScoutsofGulfcoastFlorida to spread the love and inspire others to show appreciation.
