Going Gold

Today I received my Gold Award for Girl Scouts.

It was held at a Sheraton Hotel. The local recipients had to make a display that talked about and explained her Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts of the USA. I ran a Tween (middle aged) book club during the summer for my project. For each book we met two times a week, during the summer, before moving on to the next one. During each meeting we talked about the book and did a craft afterwards.

I got numerous things for it, starting with this special pin and mug.

I also got letters of recognition from numerous places, so here are a few.

A letter that was awesome to get came from DC.

I had alot of fun at the event, and enjoyed every moment of it.

 There was a point when the Gold Award seemed unlikely. Losing troop members and a leader caused a scramble that my mom was able to fix with the help of the girl scout council. My troop was #873, and I'm the last member of it.

The group, the perfect mixture of family and friends, minus two. (My mom is on the far right)

 I'm happy I saw it through though.  I was a girl scout from age five until now. Fourteen years.
 There are adult memberships, but I have no idea what I will do about it. I'll figure that out later.

The Sister and me

Such projects and awards are never done solo. I wouldn't have ever been a girl scout, nor would have finished it out without my Mom. The project never would have been the success it was without my adviser, Michelle <3 .="">
