Troop 340 members Abbie from Thorsby High School and Katherine from Clanton Middle School
recently earned their Girl Scout Silver Award for raising awareness about
childhood obesity. The girls adopted a Brownie troop for six months and taught
them about healthy alternatives to high-calorie snacks, and the importance of
exercise. To help the younger girls out at home, Abbie and Katherine created
recipe books for each girl.
The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can
earn. This award symbolizes a Girl Scout Cadette's accomplishments in Girl
Scouting and community activities as she matures and works to better her life
and the lives of others.
