Farmington Girl Scout Earns Gold Award
The Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award a senior Girl Scout can receive.
The Girl Scouts of Connecticut recently awarded Farmington's Jackie Clark with it's highest honor - the Gold Award.
The organization's website says that the Gold Award is given to girls who create and carry out a plan that aims to address a community issue. Gold Award projects are also supposed to inspire others to take action in their own communities.
According to the Girl Scouts' website, "Jackie’s Gold Award project, 'Interact,' brought senior citizens and children together. Jackie planned and carried out festive socials for children in the community and residents of The Gables at Farmington. The groups spent time together talking and doing crafts. Jackie encouraged area Girl Scout leaders to continue the project, giving them a list of affordable craft ideas and contact information for The Gables. She is studying Psychology at St. Michael’s College."
