KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - Two local Girl Scouts were recently awarded their Bronze Award for their project "Dolls for Seniors," helping bring comfort and connection to those who need it most.

Through this project Girl Scouts Alexia and Jenivive, both 11, were able to donate 20 dolls to seniors in a local nursing facility."With me having, like playing with my dolls and having time with my grandma, (I) thought that since the seniors don't get lots of visits they can probably have like a doll," Alexia said.

Troop leader Amber Pearson says Alexia suggested the idea back in January, when they first began brainstorming ideas for projects to earn their Bronze Award.
