Colleen DeLisle is a former Girl Scout in the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast and received the highest award in Girl Scouting – the Girl Scout Gold Award and the 2018 GSWISE Young Woman of Distinction honor for the Girl Scout Gold Award category.

Colleen’s project promoted early literacy and its relation to success later in life. She installed community literacy trails in Haiti, Kenya, and Milwaukee. The trails use games to engage children and involve parents in their child’s reading development. Signs identify natural objects with words, and children are encouraged to come up with rhyming words.
