Southlake Girl Scout Earns Gold Award
 |
| Lauren Franklin |
Carroll Senior High School senior Lauren Franklin has
earned her Gold Award, the highest level of achievement a Girl Scout
can reach.
Lauren said she has gone on a personal journey of growth and learning
to complete her project. For her project, Lauren transformed an area
of overgrown weeds and partially constructed beds into a beautiful butterfly
garden at the Bob Jones Nature Center. “This garden can be used
by the entire community for hands-on learning experiences,” said
Lauren.
She began her project by researching local butterflies,
interviewing experts, consulting local garden guidebooks and websites
to develop a
planting list that will attract, host and provide nectar to local
butterflies. After developing her planting scheme, she began working
on acquiring the necessary plants, benches and bedding materials. Peter
and Kerry Rozes of Insight Merchandising and Michael Ott of Michael’s
Custom Landscaping contributed towards Lauren’s project, as did
the Franklin family. Lauren recruited cleanup and planting help from
the Venturing Crew #928, of which she is also a member. After many months
of pulling weeds, roto-tilling, planting, mulching and watering, the
garden has sprung to life. Through this project, Lauren was able to show
how a garden can easily bring educational concepts to life, and provide
hours of learning opportunities. Visitors to the Nature Center will be
able to enjoy Lauren’s project for years.
The Gold Award is the highest recognition a Girl Scout can earn. Senior
Girl Scouts aged 15-18 are eligible to earn the award. Requirements include
earning the Girl Scout Gold Leadership Award, which requires girls to
complete 30 hours of leadership work, as well as earn three Interest
Projects and one Focus Book relevant to their project. They must also
earn the Girl Scout Gold Career Award, which requires girls to complete
40 hours of career exploration and the Girl Scout Gold 4Bs Challenge,
which requires girls to assess their community and its needs, and develop
a vision for change. 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 girls' larger
community. It requires a minimum of 65 hours of work in planning and
actually doing a project, most young woman spend 200 hours or more on
their projects.
