Three Girl Scouts from Carnation and Fall City have received the Girl Scout Gold Award, for making a sustainable change to their community for the better. Fewer than 6 percent of Girl Scouts earn the Gold Award.

Meg Myers of Fall City created an anti-bullying and self-esteem building workshop for girls in the fifth grade. Working with teachers, school counselors, and other girl scouts, Myers created a guidebook, presentation resources, and found volunteers to continue the workshop annually.

Brittany Winston, Carnation, partnered with King County Parks to study eight native plants. Using that research, she created a plaque for each plant and placed them around the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. Winston shared her resources with science teachers, home school programs, and at a city council meeting.

Candace Loftus, Carnation, designed and installed benches, historical signs, hitching posts for horses, and an area for watering animals along the Snoqualmie Valley trail. Her designs will be templates for similar park installations.
