Wayne Scouts earn Gold Awards Nineteen Girl Scouts were honored last week by the Girl Scouts - Seven Lakes Council for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award girls can earn. The Girl Scouts Seven Lakes Council covers a 13-county jurisdiction. Earning the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award symbolizes outstanding accomplishments in the areas of leadership, community service, career planning, and personal development. Girls must also complete a Girl Scout Gold Award project, requiring girls to spend 50 to 65 hours to accomplish. Ambeau will be a senior at Wayne Central High School in the fall where she is a cheerleader. Her Gold Award project involved coordinating a five-mile fun and two-mile fitness walk in memory of her friend, Paul Bellanca. Two hundred people participated. Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, Ambeau said, paved the way for her meeting President George Bush when he was in Canandaigua earlier this year. DeRue is a 2006 graduate of Williamson High School, where she participated in volleyball and basketball. Her project had her spending many hours meeting with local historians and using CAD software to create a new map of the local cemetery. DeRue will attend SUNY Cortland and study physical education. Rosdahl will be a senior at Wayne Central in the fall where she is on the ski team. She created a kindergarten literacy group as her Gold Award project. She met with Junior Girl Scouts (ages 9-11) weekly to work on lesson plans, then delivered those plans to the classroom. She hopes to become and elementary school teacher and continue racing. Her most memorable Girl Scout experience has been her troops trip to London and Paris. Girl Scouts earning the Girl Scout Silver Award, the organization's second highest honor include Brittany Ambeau and Alaina Wayland of Ontario, and Kelsey Haney of Macedon.
