Girl Scout Troop 5699 asks Haverford board to allow anti‑bullying posters and QR links in schools
Summary
Members of Girl Scout Troop 5699 presented a Bronze Award project urging the district to post posters linking to an anti‑bullying website and to consider establishing kindness committees; troop members asked permission to hang posters by the start of the school year.
Girl Scout Troop 5699 presented a Bronze Award project during the public comment period on June 26, asking the district to allow posters in schools that link to an anti‑bullying website and recommending creation of kindness committees to support targeted students.
A troop member who identified herself as Clara said the project aims to help students “be an upstander towards bullies and to stand up to them,” and outlined two recommendations: placing posters with QR or direct links to the troop’s anti‑bullying website and encouraging schools to establish kindness committees to include and support students who are targeted.
The troop described the website as offering guidance both for students who face bullying and for students who may be bullying others, and asked the board if the district could allow posters to be displayed by the beginning of the school year. A district representative asked troop members to follow up so staff could consider their recommendations and next steps.
Troop members said they hoped their project would “help prevent bullying in everyday life in our school district and outside of school” and requested district follow‑up on their proposals.
