Chris submitted a bill to their state representatives to create protections for children who are shown on family vlogs.

Chris found out the lack of privacy protection to these children, created awareness in their community, connected with a representative to draft the bill and get it presented to the Washington State House with Emily Wicks, and has presented to Oregon's state legislature. Chris also shares their progression from Bronze Award to Silver Award to their Girl Scout Gold Award and experience during the Gold Award process.

More from Chris:

I have been a Girl Scout from 3rd grade through to my senior year in high school, and have recently become a lifetime member. I earned my bronze award by creating informational booklets about the Seattle Locks with my troop, my silver award by leading an art workshop for Brownie Scouts and creating a toy drive for Seattle Children's Hospital with two fellow scouts, and my gold award by introducing legislation to the Washington State House of Representatives. Aside from Girl Scouts, I have been a member of Sustainability Ambassadors from 6th grade through senior year in high school, leading projects on water sustainability, teaching teachers about how to incorporate sustainability into all aspects of their curriculum (from history to art to science to math), and writing sustainability blogs for the Sustainability Ambassadors Writers Group (SAWG).
