It’s Not Always About Swimming: Sun Coast Swim Team Members Shine in Girl Scouts

While they may be known for their prowess in the pool, Halle Filipic and Kiley Brault of the Sun Coast Swim Team have shown that their talents extend far beyond swimming. Recently, both girls were honored at the Girl Scouts of West Central Florida ceremony, marking a significant milestone in their Girl Scout journey. Halle, a 10-year-old, bridged over to the Junior class, while Kiley, 11, advanced to the Cadet class.

Their accomplishments in the Girl Scouts highlight their dedication to community service and leadership. Both girls have been heavily involved in various service projects throughout Citrus County, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact. One notable project was a coastal cleanup, where Halle and Kiley, along with their fellow Girl Scouts, worked tirelessly to collect trash and debris, helping to preserve the natural beauty of the local shoreline.

During the holiday season, Halle and Kiley brought joy to residents of a local nursing home by singing carols. Their heartfelt performances provided comfort and festive cheer to the elderly, showcasing their compassionate and community-oriented spirits. Additionally, as enthusiastic “cookie pushers,” the girls have taken part in the beloved Girl Scout Cookie program, learning valuable skills in entrepreneurship and teamwork. Their efforts have not only satisfied many sweet tooths but have also contributed to funding their troop’s activities and service projects.

These experiences underscore the well-rounded nature of Halle and Kiley, proving that they excel not only in swimming but also as leaders and active community members. Their involvement in the Girl Scouts complements their athletic pursuits, fostering a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork, and community service. As they continue to grow and achieve in both their athletic and scouting endeavors, Halle and Kiley exemplify the values of dedication and service that inspire those around them.
