Congratulations to Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Ava Hatfield on earning Girl Scouting’s highest honor! The Girl Scout Gold Award recognizes girls who identify important community issues and create sustainable solutions.

Ava’s project, “Trailside Comfort: Benches and Table for Everyone,” focused on improving accessibility and comfort within outdoor community spaces. By creating welcoming seating areas along local trails, Ava helped make outdoor recreation more inclusive and enjoyable for all visitors.
