Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) is pleased to announce that Kaitlyn Frick from Edwardsville has received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive.
For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Kaitlyn worked with the Edwardsville Children’s Museum to produce four advertisement videos to encourage more youth to visit the museum and use its resources. In addition, she held a book drive and made a book shelf for the museum. She worked with the museum’s Executive Director to develop the four advertisement videos, which included summer camp, everyday play, birthday parties and virtual tour.
According to Kaitlyn, her Girl Scout Gold Award project helped her learn that she can work with others in the community and overcome many challenges that arise. “I am excited that my Girl Scout Gold Award project was able to have such a positive impact on the Edwardsville community,” Frick said.
Kaitlyn is the daughter of Scott and Connie Frick. She is a Junior at Edwardsville High School and has been a Girl Scout for 12 years.
The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, recognizes a Girl Scout's commitment to excellence as she develops skills and values to meet present and future challenges in her life. To earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, a Girl Scout Senior or Girl Scout Ambassador must design and carry out a project that fulfills a need within a girl’s community, creates change, and is sustainable. The project must be completed with a suggested minimum of 80 hours of work. Only about 6 percent of eligible girls earn the prestigious Gold Award.
