SAN ANTONIO -- A group of Girl Scouts is doing more than just getting patches and selling cookies, they are working hard to receive the first award in their journey.
- Meteorologist and reporter Lauren Due helped
- Scouts learned ways to prepare for hurricanes
- One inspired by the study of meteorology
Troop 46 asked our meteorologist and reporter Lauren Due to teach them about dangerous weather situations.
"The bronze award is something more. It's not just a badge, it's something that they complete a project for and they work really hard towards," said Girl Scout Troop Leader Angela Garcia.
Garcia helped them out by arranging the whole thing. The first step in their hurricane awareness project is to learn all about it.
"I learned how hurricanes are formed and how dangerous they are," said Jacquelyn.
"Hurricanes are dangerous and they have names," said Emily.
"I learned what happens when a hurricane starts and how it happens," said Dixie.
"I learned how they are formed and what procedures we need to do to prepare for when the hurricanes hit," said Scarlet."I learned how they are formed and what procedures we need to do to prepare for when the hurricanes hit," said Scarlet.
The next step is think of a way to help the community.
"Spread the word so everyone can be prepared a hurricane," said Anastacia.
"You should always be prepared before a hurricane hits," said Carmen.
There was one answer the girls gave the most.
"I think that I'm actually going to make a hurricane safety kit," said Brooklyn.
"I'm going to make a hurricane safety kit," said Tina.
"I'm going to make my hurricane safety kit," said Haven.
There was even someone who was more inspired by meteorology itself.
"I'm going to try to be a meteorologist and get it out there more," said Laurianna."I'm going to try to be a meteorologist and get it out there more," said Laurianna.
"For them to gain this real world experience is really important cause I could talk till I'm blue in the face but actually talking to someone that know what their talking about and does it for a living is more impact then just," said Garcia.
For the girls, it's one award with 10 different ways to achieve it.
