Michelle Anthuis and Lora Smith have completed the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold.
Michelle Anthuis and Lora Smith, Senior Girl Scout Troop 147, Gallatin, have completed the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a girl can earn in Girl Scouting.
To complete the requirements for the Gold Award, a girl must develop her skills in at least four areas, explore career possibilities, demonstrate leadership, show commitment to self-improvement, and complete a service project that requires her efforts for at least 50 hours.
For their Gold Award service project, Michelle and Lora both chose to tutor elementary school students during the 2000-2001 school year. The students they tutored, their parents, and their teachers all reported an improvement in the student’s grades and in their self-confidence.
