A lively celebration took place to honor Girl Scout Ambassador, Mila, and her big accomplishment. Mila recieved the Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn.
A Girl Scout since Kindergarten, Mila had many memories to reflect upon and achievements to celebrate.
As a recipient of the Silver Award and Bronze Award, Mila had experience working towards a goal to benefit her community. Her Troop Leader and mother spoke on Mila's many years as a Girl Scout.
Involving the younger troops, Mila selected some younger Girl Scouts to keep an eye on her book vending machine. This ensures that her project will make an impact for many years to come. Her project is sustained beyond her involvement because of these younger girls, ensuring that the machine is replenished and has proper upkeep.
Certificates from Girl Scouts of Manitou Council, Girl Scouts of the USA, the Governor's Office, the President's Office, NASA, and the Air Force were presented. Showing the importance of Mila's work in her community, these organizations recognized her dedication and showed their support.
Mila was presented her Gold Award and was offered a message of congratulations by Council representative, Hope Spies.
Mila also became a Lifetime Member, receiving her Lifetime Membership pin.
Congratulations, Mila! Thank you for all of your time and hard work dedicated to your community. It is important that Girl Scouts celebrate their accomplishments and are honored for their diligent service.
