Our Story

Girl Scout Troop 360 is a group of seven dedicated scouts based in the Chesapeake Bay area of Delaware. United by a passion for service and cultural understanding, we believe that young people have the power — and the responsibility — to strengthen the communities they live in.

Our troop doesn’t just check boxes for badges. We take on real projects in real communities — from coastal restoration along Delaware’s shoreline to building a lasting partnership with the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, the original inhabitants of our home state. Every project we do starts with listening and ends with action.

Vivian Wan — Scout & Project Lead

Vivian is a junior at Tower Hill School in Wilmington, Delaware. Her journey with the Nanticoke community began in 2023 when she first volunteered at the annual Nanticoke PowWow — an experience that changed her perspective entirely.

What started as a troop service project grew into a deep academic and personal commitment. Vivian now conducts independent research on the economic impact of cultural tourism in Native American communities, working with faculty at Texas A&M University. She has helped organize volunteers for tribal events, contributed to National History Day projects exploring Indigenous history, and written extensively about identity and belonging. She is a Scholastic Writing Gold Key winner and was named First Prize winner in the America’s Field Trip national essay contest.

Cindy Wan — Scout & Project Lead

Cindy is a freshman at Tower Hill School and brings energy, creativity, and a fresh perspective to the troop. She works alongside Vivian in community outreach, event coordination, and content creation for our initiatives.

Together with Vivian, Cindy also co-founded Funds for Child Poverty, a nonprofit that has raised over $32,000 for children’s education in Nepal — demonstrating the sisters’ broader commitment to social impact beyond their local community.

Why We Do This

Growing up in Delaware, we walk on land that has been home to the Nanticoke people for thousands of years — yet most residents know almost nothing about them. We believe that living on someone’s ancestral land comes with a responsibility to learn, to listen, and to act.

Our troop’s work with the Nanticoke Tribe is about bridging that gap: connecting young people with Indigenous communities, amplifying voices that have been historically silenced, and conducting research that can drive real change. We’re not experts — we’re learners. And we believe that’s exactly where meaningful work begins.
