Clay County teen Brianna Ross has earned the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award, an honor equivalent to Eagle Scout status and an award which only about five percent of Girl Scouts ever achieve.
Ross has been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. Her mom, Lorrie was the leader of her troop the entire time she has been scouting. Her sister Nikki was also in her troop but conflicts with her high school curriculum and extracurriculars hampered her efforts to get her Gold Award. That, in part, inspired Brianna to continue her Girl Scout education.
“My sister was a Girl Scout and she wasn’t able to complete the award, her timing in high school was bad and I saw how disappointed she was,” Ross said. “ I also knew the doors that it opened to the girls that completed it and I also wanted to do something that helped my community; a combination of those three things was what led me to apply for it.”
