We support that. Serafina Bruchhauser earns her Girl Scout Gold Award By NIColE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com
Every year, roughly 3,300 Girl Scouts earn the Gold Award. A Franklin Square native accomplished the milestone last month. Girl Scouts in the high school grades start their Gold Award projects by identifying an issue that is importance to them. The aim of the project is to establish something that will positively impact the communities long after it is finished, whether it be a published book, a website, a nonprofit organization, a classroom lesson program or another initiative. Serafina Bruchhauser, of Franklin Square, recently ear ned her Gold Award when she designed a website for current and future pet owners that includes resources that are tailored to the needs of common pet species, including
dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish and birds. She completed the project with Troop 1020, her project adviser, Chelsey Knight, and her Gold mentor, Cheryl Hatata, of the Nassau County Girl Scout council. Bruchhauser devoted 95 hours to the project. “I hope that people can use the website as a resource so that they feel more comfortable when they get pets, and they know how to take care of them,” Bruchhauser said. “Or they don’t get a pet that they can’t take care of, which will decrease animal abuse and neglect.” The website is called the Lola Project, in honor of her childhood dog, Lola. It also stands as an acronym for “leading others to love animals.” It can be found at Bit.ly/LolaProject. Bruchhauser’s project focused on mitigating animal abuse caused by human neglect.
