On Sunday, during the Frackville Elks Flag Day Ceremony, a teen from Shenandoah Heights was awarded the Girls Scout Gold Award.
The award is the highest award a girl scout can receive similar the Eagle Scout Rank in Boys Scouts.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is a significant milestone in a Girl Scout’s journey. It challenges girls to identify an issue in their community, research the topic thoroughly, and develop a sustainable solution. This award not only honors the individual’s achievements but also highlights their capacity to effect positive change in their community. Projects that earn the Gold Award must demonstrate a lasting impact and address a community need, showcasing the recipient's ability to take action and lead.
Ava's Gold Award Project was called sensory solutions, a project that focused on the sensory needs of children while visiting local libraries.
Ava Antz, of Shenandoah Heights, received the award and pin from her godmother Tracy Dudash.
Ava is the daughter of Glenn and Bridget Antz.
