Erin is now a Senior Girl Scout in her 11th year of scouting which will culminate with the awarding of the Girl Scout Gold Award for service. Since she has been involved with Jack Russells her entire life, it was only fitting that she put her energy into the Refuge. Erin and her entire Troop have made many trips to the refuge and have collected toys, treats, towels, paper towels, crates, and other needed items at various events over the years. They have also had a cookie sale and penny drive for the refuge. Erin is a 10th grade honor student, a three sport varsity athlete, was the 2010 JRTCA National Youth Handler Champion and was the recipient of the 2010 JRTCA National Youth Sportsmanship Award.
Erin hopes this benefit and educational weekend will help raise awareness to the growing problem of dog abandonment. She asks that everyone think twice before getting a dog that they may not be able to provide a life-long home for. If you would like to help and can not attend, or if you would like more information, please email Erin. Details will also be available on the Northgate web site.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Girl Scout 14-18 may earn. Someone once described the Girl Scout Gold Award as being "what you really want to be remembered for" in Girl Scouting. For many, the leadership skills, organizational skills, and sense of community and commitment that come from "going for the Gold" set the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship.
The Gold Award project is the culmination of all the work a girl puts into "going for the Gold." It is something that a girl can be passionate about—in thought, deed, and action. The project is something that fulfills a need within a girl's community (whether local or global), creates change, and hopefully, is something that becomes ongoing. If it is an event, the event should be something that people will want to continue for the next year; if it is a service, it should be something that creates change or action with long-term possibilities, empowering others besides just the girl; if it is something tangible, it should come with a plan for use and maintenance within the community. The project is more than a good service project—it encompasses organizational, leadership, and networking skills. If a group of girls work on the project together, each girl must be responsible for a specific part of the project and must evaluate her participation as an individual and a member of the group.
