The awards ceremony featured speakers and dignitaries presenting proclamations, and each of the awardees spoke about the importance of her project as well as what scouting has meant to her. South Huntington Superintendent Dave Bennardo and Whitman Principal Kathleen Acker congratulated the girls on their dedication. New York Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci was also invited to speak. He acknowledged the importance of scouting and gave the audience a lesson in legislative districts and just how many in the audience he represents. “These young women are leaders in their schools and communities. Their achievement recognizes the important work they’ve taken part in as they’ve grown in this role,” said Lupinacci. “These outstanding young women have also demonstrated their focus and confidence as team players. As Gold and Silver Award Winners, they’ve set themselves on a stage for a lifetime of achievement.”
Congratulations to all of the Girl Scout Gold and Silver Award recipients!
