After completing the Girl Scout Gold Award Project in September 2010, Kate finally got her Gold Award! She also got a flag that was flown over the capitol, a letter from the President and more! Most importantly, the award enabled Kate to further develop her leadership skills and get into the college of her dreams. She chose a topic she was passionate about and developed a program for the Greensboro Children's Museum to continue annually. Kate focused on healthy, local eating. She let the girls harvest their sweet potato, bake it and make butter and homemade biscuits to accompany a healthy snack. The girls learned about ingredient listings on products, the food pyramid and appropriate serving sizes as well as their carbon foot print. It was an educational and fun experience for all involved! Out of our troop of 18 girls, only 5 girls got their Gold Award. Great job Kate!
