“I want to draw special attention today to six young woman from northern Kentucky. These six young women from the Licking Valley Girl Scout Council are recipients of the Girl Scout Gold Award--the highest achievement a Girl Scout can earn. Each one has demonstrated outstanding achievements in the area of leadership, community service, career planning and personal development. Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. serves over 2.5 million girls and has awarded more than 20,000 Girl Scout Gold Awards to Senior Girl Scouts since the inception of the program in 1980. Recipients of the award have not only earned patches for the Senior Girl Scout Leadership Award, the Senior Girl Scout Challenge, and the Career Exploration Pin, but also designed and implemented a Girl Scout Gold Award project. But perhaps most importantly, these six Gold Award recipients have made a commitment to community that should not go unrecognized. Jacqui Meier, Julie Ann Greis, Angela Schierberg, Christina Teeters, Christie DeMoss, and Mindy Hiles have put an extraordinary amount of work into earning these awards, and in the process have received the community's and the Commonwealth's respect and admiration for their dedication and commitment.”
