Franklin #Franklin
SOMERSET, NJ – Local Girl Scout Troop members were recognized by the Franklin Township Council for their accomplishments.
“It’s Girl Scout Week,” Franklin Mayor Phil Kramer proclaimed during Tuesday night’s meeting the meeting… “We have several Girl Scouts getting awards.”
Troop 63202 members Danielle C, Annabelle L, Emma A, Charlotte M, Mila V, Kamylle K, Maren W, Layla V, Gabriella S, Chloe L, Alyanna B each earned Bronze Awards. Troop 60675 members Isabel U, Kayah S, Molly A and Pavithra S, Isla H, Mckayla P, Padmini S, Sadie G and Saniya B were awarded the Bronze Award as well.
The Bronze Award is the highest a Junior Girl Scout can earn; and represents accomplishments made by a scout that have an impact on her community.
Kramer invited members from both Troops to describe how their projects influenced positive behavior.
Shanon S and Stasha H earned the Silver Award, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn and the second-highest award in Girl Scouting.
Molly H, of Troop 60607, earned a Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting. Molly created a Hiking Guide for girls by girls in an effort to encourage more girls to seek outside activities in nature.
“Gold Award is the highest award a girl scout can earn,” Kramer said. “Again, I hate to have to say it this way, but it’s as high as an Eagle Scout. I wish it was known better so that we could say that being an Eagle Scout is as good as getting the Gold Award.”
