KILEY’S STORY
Fashion and costume design started off as
hobbies that Dee (DeVonne Marie Mcclendon)
first learned at Girl Scout Camp. Now, she has
turned this hobby into a business. She sews
costumes, clothing, and masks for people and
herself. Her talents caught the attention of
the franchisee of Comfort Keepers Chandler,
AZ. They reached out to Dee and asked if
she would be willing to make masks for their
employees and she was thrilled to say yes.
“In a way to honor camp, I made these
masks. I learned to sew at summer camp
and now it’s my career and my artistic
outlet.”
Kiley was one of the Girl Scouts who
signed up for the first ever GSC virtual
camp session. Kiley’s mom, Danielle, was
surprised at all the different things they
received in their camp box, including
two fun patches. All the activities were
printed out and included in the box to
help ensure Kiley and any girl who signed
up had all of their supplies ready for the
activities.
“I personally like how the camp counselors
encourage the girls to do kapers even while
at home” expressed Danielle.
She hopes to blossom her brand, “Designs
by Dee Marie” into something big one day.
Pursuing fashion and clothing design in college.

CITRUS BROWNIE
PAINTING BADGE
Over 50 Girl Scouts took part in the Virtual
Painting Badge programs. The girls took part
in a virtual tour of museums around the world
to help spark some inspiration. Once the tours
were done, they proceeded to paint outdoor
landscapes. They then had to complete 4
additional masterpieces to complete their
Painting Badge. All 50 of the Girl Scouts were
successful in earning this badge.
Troop 1912 took it upon themselves to put
together emergency menstrual kits for local
schools in need. They call them Blossom bags.
They’ve made over 200 kits during the
summer and are in the process of creating
10 refill stations, one for each school in their
region to place in the school’s nurse’s office.
These will be available for girls who start at
school and don’t have supplies, as well as girls
who may not have access to the basic supplies
due to financial hardship.
The goal is to spread the word about this
project and to educate others about this basic
need that some may not have access to.
