Information

Agenda Item

Hear presentation from and recognize Girl Scout Gold Award candidate Emily Roundtree for her Gold Award project work on refurbishing the Champion Park water playscape stream and other improvements to Champion Park.

Background

Girl Scout Senior Emily Roundtree approached the Parks and Recreation Department about an appropriate service project to meet the requirement for her Girl Scout Gold Award. This agenda item provides an opportunity for the Emily to relate her experience in working with Williamson County. Emily is a decendent of the Champion family for whom Champion Park is named.

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors can earn. A part of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award requires planning and implementing an individual "Take Action" project that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization and provides a sustainable, lasting benefit to the girl's larger community. Plans must be developed with the aid of an advisor, then a project proposal must be submitted and approved by the girl's local council before starting the project, and a final report after the project's completion is submitted.

Recipients of the Gold Award who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced rank in recognition of their achievements. Some universities and colleges offer scholarships to Gold Award recipients.
