Neighborhood Girl Scouts Anne Marie Bogar, Becca Jones, Kristian Michel and Ashley Nicole Stansbury earned their Gold Awards recently.
The Gold Award is the highest award for high school Girl Scouts. To win it, scouts must research an issue they are passionate about and recruit others to take action. Once a council approves their proposals, they must raise money for and execute their projects.
Here are descriptions of this year’s Lakewood Gold Award Girl Scouts’ project. They all graduated from high school this past spring.
