Katelyn G.
Three words that describe me:
Creative
Musical
Kind
“Through Girl Scouts, I have learned so many life skills including
leadership, teamwork, and constant enthusiasm. I think that
being a Girl Scout means stepping outside of your comfort zone
and going out of your way to help others. It means to build your
and other girl’s confidence, skills, and doing good in the world.
I am so glad that I decided to join Girl Scouts all those years ago
because it has taught me how important it is to be kind and help
others, besides, it has shaped me into the person I am today.”
I look up to:

teaching ability and is 10 years

dogs. Her greatest achievement so far has been rehabilitating a feral dog from the Bannock Humane Society. In
the future she would like to do something related to either music or computers.

“To be a Girl Scout you can do anything. We love everyone. We
don’t disgrace anyone. As a Girl Scout we also do a lot of outdoor

for ten years has been the best part of my life, and I think more
people should have that experience.”

Smart
“Over my years in Girl Scouts, I have had a lot of amazing and
different experiences. When I started, I had no idea how much it
would educate me and push me to do my best. It has shaped me
by surrounding me with female leader figures from a young age.
To me, being a Girl Scout means being the best version of myself
and helping others to be the best version of themselves too.”

Keeley L.
Three words that describe me:
Energetic
Outdoorsy
Dedicated
“The projects that I have participated in have taught me a lot about
the needs in my community and how I can help. These children
may never remember us personally but will hopefully always
remember that Girl Scouts cared about them. Girl Scouting has
shaped my life and my future. Competitive fields will be more open
to me because I am a Girl Scout and have proven that I can stay the
course even when it is difficult. I have learned life skills, outdoor
skills, and made lifelong sisters within my troop. I am really happy
that I chose to stay in Girl Scouts.”

Gold Award
the mark of the truly remarkable
The prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting and
challenges girls ages 14-17 to initiate meaningful, sustainable change locally, nationally, and/or
globally through unique Take Action projects of their own creation.
A minimum of 80 hours of work is required and all hours must be completed by the Girl Scout.
Girls are encouraged to use others as resources from the community to help her, and plans must
be developed with the aid of an advisor, a proposal must be approved, and a final report
submitted and approved before the award is earned.
But Gold Award Girl Scouts aren’t just creating positive change for others: they are also realizing
incredible outcomes for themselves. Learn more about this years’ Gold Award Girl Scouts…
in her own words!Anna C.
“Earning the Gold Award was one of the most rewarding
feelings that I have ever had, finally seeing all of my hard
work and dedication pay off felt amazing. It is an honor to
receive the recognition of this award because it validates
and encourages the investment of debate and critical
thinking within childhood education, and I am so glad that
the committee recognizes the importance of these skills.”
Roadmap to Success
Anna created a debate club for middle school students aimed at increasing youth civic
engagement. She coached weekly meetings and created a toolkit for other middle schools to
use. Students in the club gained knowledge, skills and confidence in public speaking, civics, and
global and national issues.
Anna graduated from Eagle High School in 2020 and is currently attending
Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, CA.McKinley K.
“To me, earning the Gold Award means I have made efforts
to better my community. It feels empowering to have led
a project that will have a lasting impact. The Gold Award
symbolizes change, leadership, teamwork, and dedication.”
Improving Mental Health Awareness
McKinley saw the need for mental health resources for girls. She created a Mental Health
Awareness Patch for all Girl Scout levels. By completing the Discover, Connect, and Take Action
activities of the patch, girls learn about relaxation techniques, healthy coping mechanisms,
positive expression and self-affirmation.
McKinley recently graduated from Boise High
School and is working as a camp
counselor at Camp Echo in Boise this summer.Carissa M.
“Earning my Gold Award has allowed me to use all the skills
the Girl Scout program has given me over the last 10 years
and to be able to create a project that will have real change
in both my local and outside communities for many years
to come.”
Save Idaho’s Bull Trout
Carissa discovered that people in the community were not aware that the Bull Trout is a
threatened species, causing it to be overharvested. To address the issue, she created posters,
flyers, a website, and a learning curriculum to help educate the community, including hanging
posters on the Greenbelt along the Boise River.
Carissa recently graduated high school and is
working as a camp counselor at
Camp Echo in Boise this summer.Tribute Star
