Highest Achievement in Girl Scouting

Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania (GSWPA) recently honored 87 Girl Scouts for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting.

Cumulatively, these girls logged nearly 7,000 hours designing and implementing service projects that benefit their communities through education and resources. Many girls choose to use their Gold Award project to tackle issues they see within their own community like poverty, bullying and the environment. 13 of these Girl Scouts are from the south hills area of Pittsburgh:


• Allison Brooke Paxton - Canonsburg
• Grace Evans - Bethel Park
• Maggie Fertal - Bethel Park
• Elizabeth Hartnett - Bethel Park
• Veronica Johns - Bethel Park
• Jessica Scarlett -Bethel Park
• Aubree Stewart - Bethel Park
• Katherine Nicholl - Eighty Four
• Elizabeth Grassi - Jefferson Hills
• Elise N. Reichenfeld - Mt. Lebanon
• Gabriella Spina - Upper St. Clair
• Danielle Butler - West Mifflin
• Eliza Resetar - West Mifflin

By earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, these girls have become community leaders. Each one of their accomplishments focuses on the girl's individual interests and personal journey through leadership skills, career explorations, self-improvement, and service.

Some universities and colleges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award Girl Scouts, and girls who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced rank in recognition of their achievements.

In western Pennsylvania, Girl Scouts are served by Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania. For more information on how to join, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, call 800-248-3355 or visit gswpa.org.
