Gold Star Award ceremony
The Girl Scout Gold ceremony drew an impressive crowd on a recent Saturday in Amissville. The county attorney was there, as were the chairman of the county school board, the high school principal and viceprincipal.
The crowd - which nearly filled the United Methodist Church in Amissville included, of course, parents, grandparents, godparents, and even brothers and sisters.
Amanda and Meagan Smith were elevated to the Gold level, which is the girls’ equivalent of Eagle Scout for the boys, as their mother, Sheila Smith, watched proudly.
The third girl pinned with Gold was Kaite Payne, whose mother Connie is a scout leader and served as mistress of ceremonies.
To reach Gold, the girls had each performed at least 100 hours of community service, in, for example, the volunteer fire company, Four-H, or as a camp counselor. Amanda Smith reported on service mentoring younger girls, saying “young campers looked up to us. We helped them make musical instruments, such as drums, tambourines, and guitars.”
Sarah Smoot, a high school freshman who was elevated to the Silver level at the ceremony, added, “to my surprise, the instruments actually worked!”
