From left, Kamryn Wilson, Devyn Wilson and Maddie Scott, all students at Pacific Crest Academy, organized a craft drive for seriously ill children as a part of their Girl Scout troop community service project. Not pictured are troop members Evie Yoshimura, Emily Silva, Brianna Cloutier, Georgina George and Olivia Doumitt.

When her local Girl Scout troop needed to plan a community service project to earn a merit badge, 14-year-old Devyn Wilson knew exactly what she wanted to do.“My friend, Brooke Mosier, has a cousin named Hope, who has cancer,” she said. “Her story was really inspiring.”

After sharing the story of the Vancouver 10-year-old’s battle with the disease and radiation treatment, she and the members of Camas Cadette Troop No. 41864 decided to do something to help the young patients at Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland.
