GIRL SCOUT
HIGHEST AWARDS
Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma is proud to announce the girls who have
earned the highest awards for their levels over the past year. With a progression
of learning about sustainability to ensuring that it occurs, each level of the
highest awards includes girl-led selection of a project where she and her
team can make a difference while learning about teamwork, decision-making,
planning, budgeting, facilitating, reporting, and evaluating. Girls are not required
to earn one award before the next level. For example, if a girl did not earn the
Girl Scout Bronze Award as a Girl Scout Junior, she may still choose to work on
the Girl Scout Silver Award when she becomes a Girl Scout Cadette.

GIRL SCOUT BRONZE AWARD
When Girl Scout Juniors (grades 4-5) team up to make a difference in their
community, they learn important leadership skills, discover new passions, and
watch how seemingly small actions make a big difference. It all adds up to the
Girl Scout Bronze Award—the highest honor a Junior can achieve.

TEN-YEAR AWARD PINS
Girls who have been members of the Girl Scout organization for ten years are
eligible to wear a special Ten-Year Award. These girls are members of troops,
individual members, and members of special interest groups. Many have
extracurricular activities and some even have jobs, and still, they find ways to
fit Girl Scouts into their busy schedules. Sticking with something for ten years
is a definite reason for celebration!

10GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD
The mark of the truly remarkable.
Gold Award Girl Scouts are the dreamers and the doers who take “make the
world a better place” to the next level. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the mark of
the truly remarkable—proof that not only can she make a difference, but that
she already has.
Seniors and Ambassadors (grades 9-12) who earn the Girl Scout Gold
Award tackle issues that are dear to them and drive lasting change in their
communities and beyond. Think of the Girl Scout Gold Award as a key that
can open doors to scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college, and
amazing career opportunities.
11Megan Brillhart
Cat Beds for Shelters
Advisor - Jessica
Padilla-Hernandez
Megan, seeing the decrease in cat
adoptions and wanting to give the new
family and cat an easier transition to a
new home, worked with several local pet
adoption agencies and youth volunteers to create comfortable
cat beds so that the animal would have at the shelter from day
one and leave the shelter to go to their new family with a familiar
item. Megan’s project will remain sustainable in many ways.
She reached out to her church and to youth volunteer
organizations to continue making the cat beds for the approved
shelters, she created an instructional worksheet for shelters to
hand out, and she created a YouTube instructional video that
she sent out to organizations that would be interested in the
project in her community and even outside her community.
Megan graduated in May of 2019. She now attends Tulsa
Community College.
12Andrea Chandler
Jenks East Before-Care
Advisor – Kody Engle
Andrea, seeing the lack of affordable
childcare during new school start times
and during collaboration days for the Jenks
East Elementary teachers, established a
volunteer led before school care program
for teachers on the school’s collaboration days. Andrea worked
with her high school’s Key Club, a volunteer club through Jenks
High School, to provide volunteers and hung fliers up at Jenks
East Elementary to inform the teachers about the new before
school child care.
The project will be sustained by Jenks Elementary and the Jenks
High School Key Club. Andrea graduated from Jenks High School
in May of 2019. She was a member of Troop 140.
13Abigail (Abbie)
Claussen
Virtual Music Library
Advisor – Alex Claussen
After her school combined the mid-high
and senior-high campuses, Abbie noticed
the over whelming increase in paper sheet
music. To make it easier on the school and
students, Abbie took inventory and created a completely new
online database to store all 1,200 pieces of music in their band
library. Abbie produced and equipped the band staff with the
foundation to continue to add music to their extensive library.
Abbie has been a Girl Scout for 11 years and was a member of
Troop 597.
She is currently attending the University of Central Oklahoma
where she is majoring in music education and hopes to teach
elementary music after she graduates. Her advice to younger Girl
Scouts is to connect with the other girls in your troop because
they can become life-long friends! Also, she recommends to not
be afraid to set goals and do what you can to achieve them!
14Makenzi Hines
Fostering for the Future
Advisors – Sherri Hardy, Louise
Hoover, and Milissa Hines
Makenzi, witnessing the lack of
understanding and education involving
fostering animals, addressed the issue by
teaching the community at Pet Adoption
League’s (PAL) adoption events about fostering animals,
introducing “Foster Fridays” on PAL’s social media platforms, and
creating flyers to distribute at PAL events and in the community.
Makenzi’s efforts will be sustainable with the help of PAL’s social
media coordinator who will continue posting “Foster Fridays”
and will reprint and distribute fostering flyers.
Makenzi has been a Girl Scout for 13 years, was a member of
Troop 1260, and is now a Lifetime Girl Scout. Makenzi currently
attends the University of Central Oklahoma where she is studying
Biology and Forensic Science: Molecular Biology. After completing
her undergraduate, she hopes to return for her Masters with
the goal of eventually completing a PhD and becoming a DNA
analyst at a crime lab. She would love to continue volunteering
with animal rescues. Makenzi’s advice to younger Girl Scouts is
to take advantage of the programs and activities to try as many
new things as you can. You never know when something you try
will end up being a new love of yours. You may even find out you
want a career through something you try!
15Anna Jones
Join the Pack: Self
Advocacy Day
Advisor – Michelle Keiper
After learning that one in five people
have dyslexia and the lack of teaching
tools in Oklahoma schools, Anna began
working with Decoding Dyslexia to create
a curriculum for an annual event to teach kids with dyslexia
how to use their strengths and advocate for accommodations
that can help them be more successful. Anna’s first event was
held virtually and reached many kids, parents, educators, and
lawmakers! She has already had individuals ask for the event to
be held at their schools. Anna, herself, also grew from this event
by allowing her to get more comfortable with public speaking.
Anna has been a Girl Scout for 13 years and is a member of
Troop 347. She plans to attend college after she graduates high
school and major in early child care. Anna’s advice to younger
Girl Scouts is to never give up, the differences we have help
make us stronger together.
16Lilian (Lily) Jones
Buffs Go Green
Advisor – Lori Few
Lily, continuing to see a lack of recycling
in her school district, created a recycling
program throughout the McAlester Public
School system. Through reading materials,
presentations, and interactive games, Lily
went into each school to teach students and teachers which
items can be recycled. Lily placed recycling bins around each
school and worked with the Choctaw Nation’s Going Green
program to obtain a new recycling dumpster. The recycling
program will be sustained by the schools continuing recycling
educational programming and the Choctaw Nation.
Lily has been in Girl Scouts for 13 years and is a member of
Troop 78. Lily’s advice to younger Girl Scouts is to always be
positive and believe you can do anything you can set your mind
to. Lily plans to go to college and major in pre vet medicine.
17Katherine Kavanagh
Sunscreen for Everyone
Advisor – Melissa Harris
Katherine, seeing the rise in skin cancer
especially among people of color,
implemented a sunscreen program in
her town of Tahlequah. Katherine worked
with the city government and school
board to educate their community about the importance of
sun safety through flyers, adding information on their websites
and their social media platforms as well as installing sunscreen
dispensers in two highly trafficked outdoor areas. The City of
Tahlequah Parks and Recreations will continue the maintenance
of the dispensers while the city will continue promoting the
program.
Katherine has been in Girl Scouts for 12 years, is a member of
Troop 1226, and will graduate in 2022. After high school, she
plans to attend Arkansas College for a Bachelor’s in Nursing and
joining the Air Force. Katherine’s advice to younger Girl Scouts is
to never give up, no matter how hard it gets.
18Romey Leonard
Community Connect
Advisor – Ann Mayse
Being impacted by the protests in our
country, Romey aimed to address the lack
of cultural competence and inclusion in
her own community. Romey immediately
began working with the closest community
to her, the Girl Scout Cherokee Strip Service Unit. Romey
researched about different cultures and made a “program in
a box” that offered PowerPoints, books, activities, and games
that made it easy for leaders and girls to talk about diversity,
inclusion, and empathy for years to come. Romey’s main goal was
summed up in a quote she provided by Professor Dumbledore
from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in saying “while we may
come from different places and speak in different tongues, our
heart’s beat as one.”
Romey has been a Girl Scout for 13 years and was a member
of Troop 241. Romey is currently attending Northern Oklahoma
College and is studying psychology in hopes of being a mental
health counselor.
19Emily Milton
Focus on Reading
Advisor – Kara Lee
Wanting to bring awareness of the
importance of reading into her community,
Emily created a literacy program at Jenks
Care Point aimed at younger students and
English as a Second Language families.
Emily implemented a book drive at Holland Hall and at South
Tulsa Baptist Church. With the books collected she created a
reading program for a Back to School event where she read to
younger students, discussed the importance of reading, handed
out pamphlets to help get families more involved in the project
and to educate them on the benefits of reading and education.
Emily’s project sustainability consists of continuing reading
education through pamphlets distributed at Jenks Care Point,
Holland Hall students and South Tulsa Baptist Church members
to continue book collections, and Emily’s blog created around
her project. Emily graduated high school in 2019 and was a
member of Troop 393.
20Carys Stringer
Give Blood, Get Cookies!
Program
Advisor – Ken Kurtz
Carys, seeing that blood is always in
short supply and with the pandemic
exacerbating the issue, decided to partner
with the American Red Cross and Girl
Scout troops to address the issue by creating the Give Blood,
Get Cookies! Program. Carys’ program consists of leading
seminars and presenting training videos that educate girls and
troop leaders on how to create their own blood drives while
working with their local American Red Cross. The blood drives
will continue to bring awareness to both organizations as well
as an increase in blood donations.
Carys has been in Girl Scouts for 11 years and is with Troop 1438.
She plans on studying Biomedical Engineering at the University
of Oklahoma with also an interest in medical school and writing
young adult novels. Carys’ advice to younger Girl Scouts is to try
everything! You never know where it may lead!
21Ariana White
What Does Your Heart
Have to Say?
Advisor – Heather VonHartitzsch
When heart disease took someone (David
VonHartitzsch) close unexpectedly, Ariana
wanted to educate others about the most
common but often unknown cause of
death. Ariana partnered with two locations that were close to
David, researched the disease, created educational pamphlets,
and designed, created, and secured two heart health plaques.
The plaques will not only educate others about heart health
but will also put a face to the disease as well as honor David’s
memory.
Ariana is a Senior at Wright Christian Academy and has been
a Girl Scout member of Troop 2603 for 13 years. She plans
on attending the University of the Ozarks and studying health
science and biology and plans on going to Physician Assistant
School to become a PA. Advice that Ariana would give to younger
Girl Scouts is to stay committed to Girl Scouts because it is
worth it.
22Emmah Wilson
Career Closet - The Sunshine
Closet of Texoma
Advisor – Shawnda McGinnis
Seeing foster children who age out of the
system with nothing, Emmah reached
out to J27 Ministry where she created
the Sunshine Closet. The closet will be
a place for young women who are newly out of foster care to
access clothes, personal items, school supplies for college, and
additional items to better their futures. She also established
rules for the program allowing individuals to earn “sunshine
dollars” to pay for the items while giving back to help others. The
young women can work in the closet to earn the dollars as well.
The Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority will continue to carry-out the
Sunshine Closet as their on-going service project. Emmah’s
Gold Award project taught her more about time management
along with building her leadership skills. Emmah attends Colbert
High School and will graduate in 2022.
23Trinity Wilson
Before You Make a Game
Advisor – Tammy Talbot
Seeing a lack of programming guides and
being passionate about the STEM field,
Trinity wanted to help teens and young
adults properly start a game development
project by creating an informal packet
about what to expect when programming, particularly video
games. The packet explains how to start a game development
project, the tools you need, ways to obtain knowledge to begin,
and ways to prioritize and keep oneself from burning out and
losing focus. Trinity reached out to developers, computer
scientists, and many others in the field to get the expert
feedback needed to create this online resource.
Trinity was in Girl Scouts for 3 years with Troop 1209. Trinity
graduated from McAlester High School in 2020 and now is in
college where she plans to enter the CyberSecurity field after
she graduates. Her advice to younger Girl Scouts is to take the
time to stop and think when you encounter a problem.
24Carrie Witchey
Plan Q
Advisor – Michele Magalassi
Being personally affected by suicide made
Carrie Witchey aware that there are not
enough resources out there for teens in
her community to fully understand the
impact of this important subject. Carrie
implemented a school wide one-hour presentation over the
QPR: Question, Persist, and Refer to Stop Suicide in its Track
suicide prevention method to be held during her school’s “We
Matter Week”, formed a committee in her school, and created
an annual presentation of QPR to be used in the future at her
school.
Carrie has been a Girl Scout for nine years and is a member
of Troop 1438. She plans to attend the University of Central
Oklahoma and go to medical school after to become a Forensic
Pathologist with a dual major in Chemistry. She also plans to
advocate for suicide awareness throughout the rest of her life.
Her advice for younger Girl Scouts is to “keep moving forward”.

Bronze Cross
Statement - Roberta Preston
We are proud to announce that one of
our Girl Scouts, Katherine Kavanagh
has earned the Bronze Cross National
Lifesaving Award from GSUSA. The
Bronze Cross is one of the highest honors Girl Scouts
can bestow. Part of the Girl Scout program since the
beginning of the movement, the award is given to a
Girl Scout who has saved or attempted to save human
life under circumstances that indicate heroism or risk
to her own life. The award is reserved for those Girl
Scouts who have performed heroic acts beyond the
degree of maturity and training to be expected at their
age. Katherine saved the life of her father and brother
during a scuba diving incident in January. Through
review of the statements from her father and brother
we can truly understand the quick thinking, training and
true heroism she displayed. Katherine is also a Gold
Award Girl Scout. We are so very proud of Katherine!
