2023 Girl Scout Gold Award Recipients
- Charlotte Alegranti, Superior, Girl Scout Green Certification Program – Charlie created an environmental certification program to encourage restaurants in Superior and Boulder to be more sustainable. The certification addresses the business’s water, waste, and energy management. The decal in the windows of certified businesses indicates to the community they are trying to protect the environment.
- Rosemary Elliott, Superior, I’m An Engineer – Closing the STEM Gender Gap – Rosemary noticed that interest in STEM for girls tends to drop off in middle school, so she created a middle school club in her community that promotes fun STEM activities and keeps girls engaged and inspired to prioritize STEM classes and professions for their future.
- Meghana Kumar, Superior, Help for Mental Health – Meghana created an easy- to- navigate online resource for students at Monarch High School to find quick art therapy activities like crafts, coloring, and breathing exercises. The exercises are great for students who may be feeling overwhelmed or struggling with other mental health issues and will be available for all students at her school going forward.
- Ella Malm, Superior, Remembering the Superior Historical Museum – During the Marshall Fire in 2021, the Superior Historical Museum was destroyed. The process of rebuilding has begun. To benefit the future of the museum, Ella created a scale model of the historic building that is displayed at the Town of Superior Community Center to promote the museum and inspire people in her community to visit and support the organization.
