Kirkwood High School Senior Earns Girl Scout Gold Award
January 31, 2012
Kirkwood High School (KHS) senior Rachel Kibby has earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, which is the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts of the USA. Only 5.4% of eligible Girl Scouts successfully earn the Gold Award. A Gold Award recipient must plan and implement an individual “Take Action Project” that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization and provide a sustainable, lasting benefit to the applicants larger community.
Kibby’s Take Action Project involved being the founding member of the Global Friends Club that was launched at KHS in August 2011. The original mission was to provide a welcoming and embracing club for international exchange students at KHS. It has since expanded to include all global students, many whom were involved in the school’s English as a Second Language program. The club meets regularly to socialize and exchange information about different cultures. The club has helped students overcome biases and prejudice by providing a place where American and international students form personal relationships with one another through club activities, sharing conversations, games, dinner outings and sports.
