Community leadership comes in all ages, and members of Girl Scout Troop 127018 recently demonstrated that through their Bronze Award project focused on improving pedestrian safety in Willow Point MUD.
As part of the Girl Scout Bronze Award—the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can earn—the troop identified a safety concern affecting students and families who cross at the intersection of Fielder Village Lane and Kingsland Boulevard. The girls researched traffic safety, met with local leaders, and explored solutions that could make the crossing safer for pedestrians.
Throughout the project, Troop 127018 met with representatives from the Anserra Homeowners Association, Fort Bend County engineering staff, and Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Commissioner Vincent Morales to better understand the process for requesting safety improvements. During those discussions, Commissioner Morales indicated that Precinct 1 would consider installing a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon ("RRFB") with enhanced crosswalk striping if a formal request was submitted by Willow Point MUD.
The troop presented its findings and formal request to the Willow Point MUD District Board of Directors during the Board's June 4, 2026, meeting, explaining the importance of the project and why they believe additional pedestrian safety measures would benefit the community.
After hearing the presentation, the Board unanimously approved authorizing the preparation and submission of a letter to Fort Bend County Precinct 1 requesting installation of an RRFB with striping at the intersection of Fielder Village Lane and Kingsland Boulevard.
The Board applauds Troop 127018 for their initiative, thoughtful research, and commitment to making the community safer for everyone. Their project is an excellent example of young residents identifying a local need, engaging with public officials, and working through the appropriate channels to help create positive change.
Willow Point MUD District appreciates the troop's dedication to community service and looks forward to the continued partnership between residents and local leaders to enhance safety throughout the District.
