Three local Girl Scout Cadettes earned the Silver Award, the second highest award available for middle-school aged girls. Girl Scout Cadette Troop No. 933 and No. 1132 members Samantha DuBois, Amanda Larbus and Emily Whitcomb completed their Silver Award project by working with Riverview Health in Noblesville to encourage the gift of reading and support youth in the building.
The Scouts collected, cleaned and donated more than 100 new and gently-used books to Riverview Health to be given as gifts to the children in the hospital’s waiting areas. The books range from picture books to novels so all ages can find a book of interest. The girls also created an activity sheet for the emergency room waiting area that includes a health-related word search, crossword, matching and coloring.
The three eighth-grade girls will bridge to senior level of scouting at the end of this year.
