42 Long Island high school students honored at Girl Scouts awards
Forty-two Girl Scouts were honored recently at the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County’s annual Gold Award dinner and ceremony at Villa Lombardi’s in Holbrook.
The Girl Scouts’ Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, and the preeminent leadership award for high school girls. Gold Award Girl Scouts address issues they’re passionate about by planning and implementing a project that produces lasting change in their communities and beyond.
“Our Gold Award Girl Scouts are leaders in their community who are making measurable and sustainable change while still in high school,” said Tammy Severino, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “As they take action to transform their world, they gain tangible, real-world skills and a civic-minded awareness that sets them apart from their peers.”
