WHITESBORO – Ruby Washington of Court House has had many achievements in her young life. She added the Gold Scout Award to that collection. She is a 2017 graduate of Middle Township High School with a 4.8 average, second in her class of 195 students and a member of Troop 46175. She will be attending University of Pennsylvania’s College of Engineering and Applied Science to major in Biomedical Engineering this fall.
The requirements to achieve the Gold Scout Award include:
• Complete two Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journeys, or complete one Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journey and have earned the Silver Award.
• Plan and implement an individual “Take Action” project that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization and provides a sustainable, lasting benefit to the girl’s larger community.
Once these steps have been met, girls use their vision for change to complete a service project that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization and provides lasting benefit to the girl’s larger community. It requires a minimum of 80 hours of work in planning and actually completing the project. All of these hours must be completed by the Awardee, and though it is encouraged that the girl use troop members and others from the community to help her, their time spent does not count towards her 80-hour requirement. Plans must be developed with the aid of an adviser, then a project proposal must be submitted and approved by the girl’s local council before starting the project, and a final report submitted and approved after the project’s completion.
