Girl Scouts in Cadette Troop 226 recently received the Silver Award, the highest award that can be earned by a Cadette Girl Scout.
The project the Scouts selected was "Community Wellness" and, in conjunction with the ninth annual Kids' Day at the Little League Museum, they held a wellness fair.
The Scouts have shown dedication, according to troop leader Linda Crockett, who said that by earning the award, they have demonstrated that they are young women of character, capable of devoting themselves to a worthy task.
