The Future Is Bright
Recently, over 170 members celebrated the 2026 Class of Highest Award Girl Scouts at Her Future, Her Impact: Girl Awards Gala in Dobson. Girl Scouts are growing into the leaders of tomorrow and the future is bright! Collectively, our Bronze, Silver and Gold Award Girl Scouts dedicated over 13,116 hours of service and benefited their communities through projects focused on literacy, homelessness, elderly care and so much more. We also recognized two Girl Scouts who earned the Medal of Honor for their bravery and quick thinking in lifesaving situations.
Not only do their achievements demonstrate their ability to learn new skills and connect with their community to take action, these awards set them apart when applying for scholarships and employment. Girl Scout Highest Awards are the mark of something truly remarkable, and we invite you to continue our celebration and get inspired by our Highest Award Yearbook!
Each year, our council is privileged to hold a drawing for four one-time educational scholarships, each in the amount of $1,000, to four of our outstanding Gold Award Girl Scouts. These scholarships are designed to support our Girl Scouts as they take the next steps in their academic journeys, helping them to pursue their education and career dreams beyond high school. Congratulations to Jessie Greenway, Abby DeHart, Maggie Harris and Julia Gladstone!

Session Spotlight:
Your letter has arrived, and it’s time to report to the Wizarding School of Keyauwee for Magic and Mysteries! Campers will spend the week uncovering magical mysteries, from studying enchanted plants and brewing potions to exploring all kinds of mystical secrets. They’ll get hands-on with fun activities like candle making, potion crafting and testing their skills in a friendly game of Quidditch. Along the way, campers will also enjoy classic camp favorites like boating, climbing, archery and team-building challenges, blending magic with adventure. Friendship and teamwork are at the heart of this magical week as campers collaborate, share discoveries and cheer each other on in all their enchanting activities.
Midweek brings Theme Thursday, a day to dress in your best wizard or magical outfits, letting your imagination run wild and adding an extra touch of magic to the fun. With spells, creativity and plenty of laughter, this week is perfect for campers ready to explore, play and discover their own magical powers!
