DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award in Girl Scouting, comparable to the Boy Scouts of America's Eagle Scout merit. Gold Award Girl Scouts in high school complete projects to make the world a better place and earn the highest award available to Seniors and Ambassadors. To earn the award, each girl must complete two Senior or Ambassador journeys or complete one Senior or Ambassador journey and have earned a Girl Scout Silver Award. After completing either of these requirements, a minimum of 80 hours is suggested to complete the steps to earn the Girl Scout Gold Award.
Kameryn Knowles is a member of Troop 3601 and currently a Senior at West Port High School. Her project, "Beat the Heat," educated community members about the signs, symptoms, and treatment of Heat Borne Illness. The goal of the project was to raise awareness and educate to prevent youth and youth athletes from suffering from Heat Borne Illnesses.
