NEWSLETTER FOR GIRL SCOUTS OF ALL AGES <br />Going for Gold <br />"You take everything you learned through your <br />whole life and put it into Girt Scouting." <br />That's how Valerie Ann Dunbar describes the Girl Scout Gold <br />Award. "Girl Scouting has given me a base, a support system and <br />friends," says 1994 Gold Award recipient Carrie Hansom. <br />The Gold Award is the highest achievement for girls in Girl <br />Scouting. To achieve this leadership award, girls must meet several <br />requirements including performing a significant public service project. <br />Examples of some service activities girls are performing for their <br />community in 1994 include: collecting socks for the homeless, orga- <br />nizing musical entertainment for seniors and holding art classes for <br />younger gibs. <br />Valerie Ann Dunbar had a two part service project - she collected <br />more than 150 baby items for needy new mothers and she has been <br />volunteering every Monday for an after school program. At first, it <br />was discouraging. The kids were very different in age so it was hard <br />to find the right activity But as I got to know them better and they <br />got to know me, it became very rewarding and fun overall, I learned <br />that it does not take much effort to make someone else s day," <br />says Dunbar. <br />Carrie Hanson's Gold Award service project is to parr junior high <br />students with senior high students from the same ethnic background. <br />"At first I was doing this project because I wanted to earn an award. <br />Now, I just really want to help these Idds. It is very hard to go from <br />Junior High to Senior /Ugh, I think it is even harder for non-native <br />speakers and having someone to talk to who has gone though the <br />same thing can make a big difference." <br />On May 19, 1994, 20 Senior Girl Scouts will be receiving their Gold <br />Award at the College of St. Catherine's Jeanne d'Arc Auditorium. in <br />St. Paul_ Mayors from each of the communities in which the Gold <br />Award recipients reside have been invited to attend the recognition <br />ceremony.
