#Mahalo to @scouting for the really nice article about my community service with the @boyscouts, @RedCross and @theaward! And thank you to Mr. Abello (@GovJanetMills) for meeting with me. Hope there will be more #RedCrossClub in #ME, #NH, and #VT very soon.

Kana Walsh, a Sea Scout and Scouts BSA member, appreciates how first-aid skills are part of the BSA’s advancement programs.

At the same time, she argues, we should all consider doing more.

Wrote an #OpEd about my experience completing #Wilderness #FirstAid with #SOLO for the @PressHerald. BSA #Scouts and #GirlScouts should think about getting it. It teaches things you don't learn in basic first aid. 🤕 https://t.co/wqTdyjQFQl @girlscouts @boyscouts

@StarAdvertiser It is so amazing to see big companies making an effort to help local families in need! 🤙

#News: Mahalo to Ranger Lesley of @DLNR for teaching our #Mililani #Crew and #Troop about socially distanced hiking at #KaenaPoint! This was the first time that many of us have seen one another in six months because of #COVID19! It was loads of fun! (cc: @boyscouts @venturingbsa)

Mahalo to @GovHawaii and @HawaiiSenate for making this happen! Senator Shimabukuro is now working on legislation to get the #DayoftheGirl permanently recognized! (cc: @RepEdCase @KaiKahele @MazieHirono @BrianSchatz)

[World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts @wagggsworld]

After three years of #advocacy work @girlscouts @premedmapper has had #DayoftheGirl formally recognised in her State, @govHawaii. Girl Scout advocacy in action! #TeamGirl

How it started. how it’s going

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

@Rachblevine THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

#News: #Mahalo to @KITV for sharing the #news about the #DayOfTheGirl proclamation by Governor Ige (@GovHawaii)! Thank you also to @girlscouts, @SenLauraThielen, and @SenMaile for helping to make this happen for a #GirlScout! (@dianeako @UN_Women @wagggsworld @RepEdCase)

The Governor proclaimed today, October 11, 2020, the Day of the Girl in Hawaii and honored one of our #RedCross volunteers, @premedmapper, for her outstanding work with the Missing Maps project and her numerous community efforts. Congratulations, Kana, and mahalo for all you do!

I want to pass on a huge congrats to @premedmapper for getting #InternationalDayoftheGirl recognized in #Hawaii! This was three years of advocacy work. How amazing!

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

#Girls #News: Want to celebrate #DayoftheGirl next Sunday? Don't know how? I created this #infographic to help #Hawaii #GirlScouts make their voices heard. If helpful, feel free to use it! (cc: @wagggsworld @girlscouts @GirlScoutsHI @GovHawaii @bgchlihue @HIDOE808 @HIDOE808_DrK)

Update: I just completed my first award for @venturingbsa! Starting on the Discovery Award now. Shout out to my #Crew Advisor and Crew President for all of their support. I encourage any #youth who need a challenge in their life to join @boyscouts! 🏕

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

@RepEdCase and @TulsiGabbard: Now that we have a Congressional resolution and state proclamation from the #Hawaii Governor, would it be possible for you to do something to increase awareness of #DayoftheGirl in #Congress this year?

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

A few months ago, I asked @SenLauraThielen to help me to find a way to get the State of Hawai'i to commemorate the #DayoftheGirl. This week, she got the Women's Legislative Caucus to send this letter to @GovHawaii asking him to do so! 😁 (cc: @GirlScoutsHI)

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

... BTW: I had a great phone call with @RepEdCase about getting more support for #DayoftheGirl at the national level. I am hopeful that he will find a way to bring more awareness to this event in #Congress. That would be good for the #girls of #Hawaii too! 🤙

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

Please help spread the word about #DayoftheGirl across #Hawaii: @CivilBeat @KHONnews @KITV4 @pbshawaii @StarAdvertiser @thegardenisland @westhawaiitoday @HawaiiNewsNow @RepEdCase @TulsiGabbard @maziehirono @SenBrianSchatz @wearehpr @island985fm @BigIslandNow @MayorKirkHNL @ktuhfm

Later this week, @GovHawaii will announce that he has formally recognized October 11th as #DayoftheGirl in the state of #Hawaii! Please celebrate the day! (cc: @CivilBeat @KHONnews @KITV4 @pbshawaii @StarAdvertiser @thegardenisland @westhawaiitoday @HawaiiNewsNow @MayorKirkHNL)

[Ka Wa @premedmapper]

@wagggsworld Thank you for doing this!!! Last year, I got #Congress to recognize the #DayoftheGirl! This year, I got #Hawaii do it! My #SilverAward mentor for @girlscouts helped me! I am glad that @wagggsworld cares so much about the rights of girls! We matter! #GirlPower! (Photo: ©2020)

Two years ago Governor Ige informally recognized the #DayoftheGirl. Next month, he will formally recognize it! 🥳

[Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii]

Today is International #DayOfTheGirl which aims to highlight & address the needs & challenges girls face, while promoting girls' empowerment. Kana Walsh of @GirlScoutsHI is the first kid to be published in @PublicDiplomacy. Read her article here: https://t.co/p2Si8vvuaP #HIGov
