Awards and Recognitions __________________________________________
Girl Scout Gold Award, Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council
The Gold Award is the most prestigious award that a Girl Scout can earn. While
working towards the Gold award, I identified an issue, investigated it thoroughly,
got help and built a team, created a plan, presented my plan, gathered feedback,
took action, and educated and inspired others.
For my specific award, I built shelving for the music library at my high school. I
also cataloged the newest music and created a new system for the jazz and
percussion ensemble music.

The triumph award is awarded to girls who have completed their Bronze, Silver,
and Gold Awards throughout Girl Scouts.
