Putnam County Girl Scout earns gold award

PUTNAM COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Bailey Philyaw, a dedicated Girl Scout from Putnam County, has earned the prestigious Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting.

As a rising Ambassador in the Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council, she undertook a project to enhance the Girl Scouts’ representation at the World Scouting Museum, which was recently located in Charleston, West Virginia.

Philyaw’s initiative, the West Virginia Scout History Awareness project, aimed to ensure that Girl Scouts are well showcased at the museum. She played a key role in creating a guided audio tour and setting up display cases featuring vintage Girl Scout uniforms, among other contributions.

By achieving this award, Philyaw has demonstrated exceptional leadership and citizenship skills, establishing herself as a community leader.
