CICERO, N.Y. – Area Girl Scouts were recently recognized at ceremonies throughout the Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, for earning the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards.
The prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. In order to earn the award, girls must complete Senior or Ambassador Journeys, the essence of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, and demonstrate their leadership abilities by spending at least 80 hours working on a Gold Award Take Action project that creates a sustainable impact on her extended community.
Four local Girl Scouts earned the Gold Award this year: Maggie Allardice, Kayla Guindon, and Gabrielle Sacket of Parish, and Grace Neely of Baldwinsville.
For her take action project, Maggie Allardice worked with the United Friends of Homeless Animals and other agencies throughout Oswego County to hold a pet care adoption fair. A number of groups attended and more awareness was spread throughout the community about animal adoption. Maggie is a senior at Altmar-Parish-Williamston High School.
For her take action project, Kayla Guindon worked with the United Friends of Homeless Animals to create a float. The UFHA will use the float in parades and for advertising display purposes throughout the year. Kayla designed the float that spoke to UFHA’s mission of helping animals find happy and healthy homes. Kayla is a junior at Altmar-Parish-Williamston High School.
For her take action project, Gabrielle Sacket organized a pet walk in her community to raise awareness about animals in shelters. She identified ways the community can support the United Friends of Homeless Animals. Gabrielle is attending Mohawk Valley Community College for respiratory care.
For her take action project, Grace Neely worked with the First Baptist Church of Baldwinsville to fix up their kitchen. The kitchen serves as a hub for community outreach. Now that the kitchen is fixed up, more of the community can benefit from what the church has to offer. Grace is a senior at CW Baker High School.
