Gold Award Recipients:

The World Around Us - Lauren Kruskamp and Megan Rose earned their gold award in 2005. They decided to put their decade plus of Girl Scouting experience and their love for the environment together and organized a week long junior day camp. Each put in over 200 hours into the project. There were 140 campers, 50 older girl staff running 16 units and a compliment of adults to meet the required adult to girl ratios. The campers earned found badges/patches - Science in Action, Oil Up, Weather Watch and the Save The Bay patch. Both Megan and Lauren took on two badges/patches focus on making them interesting and fun for the girls. All details of the weeklong camp program were the focus for the nine months leading up to the project - everything from purchasing materials to the daily schedule to directions for each station. Among many other activities, campers had a visit from a local Meteorologist, learned about cleaning up oil spills and spent Friday night camping under the stars. Throughout the week the campers and staff had opportunities to participate in service projects.
