Gold Awards
Girl Scout Patch Vintage
In all of Girl Scoutings existance here in Wiesbaden, Germany, there have only been five girls who have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. Each of the girls have earned the Gold Award within the last six years (since 2005). Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award is an outstanding accomplishment and the low number of girls who have earned it (here in Wiesbaden) symbolize exactly how hard it is to earn the Gold Award. Each girl put over 90 hours of hard work and research into their project and reached out into their community to inform and make a positive change. These outstanding girls who have earned the Gold Award are: Francis Falling, Laura Gooderham, Catherine Leknes, Alyse Gooderham, and Erin Fry.
Francis Falling: Francis created, or enhanced, recycling programs at each of the American schools in Wiesbaden. She also created awareness in our community about the positive aspects of recycling and why it is necessary for our environment. Francis spent countless hours’ researcher recycling programs already in our community, statistics, and how we can make it better. She even talked to a German official on recycling, and included his interview in her video which she showed to each of our schools here in Wiesbaden. Francis also took the time to go to the commissary to influence the community to recycle, “Make it a Point!”
Laura Gooderham: Laura’s project was two separate walking tours of the German city Mainz. Laura researched the history, planned a route, and took pictures to design a booklet. One of the tours focused on the Churches of Mainz, while the other one focused on the rich history of the city. Accompanying the books are two patches which are earned after completing the tours (one patch for each tour). Anyone can earn these patches; even Boy Scouts and family members. The goal of her project was to encourage Americans living in Germany to go out and explore the German world around them in a fun and interesting way! Mainz Walking Tour Churches Take 2. Mainz Walking Tour Roman take 2.
Catherine Leknes: Catherine’s project was a website designed to inform American’s living in Wiesbaden about all of the neat things to do while living here. She created this website so that American’s have easy access to new and fun things to do, so they get out and about in the German community instead of just staying on “Little America.” This website informs people of places to go to have fun, to eat, to shop, and even how to get there.

Alyse Gooderham: Alyse’s Gold Award project was a website specifically made for Americans living in Germany. The website shows the basic use of each form of German transportation and can be useful for newcomers and those that have been here and don’t know how to get around using public transportation. Alyse’s website is extremely helpful for anyone who needs to use public transportation, the site is easy to navigate through, explains things thoroughly, and gives helpful German words with their English translations for the readers benefit.

Erin Fry: Erin’s Gold Award project targets American children who are sent to German hospitals. The project is a book full of activities to entertain children, as well as, useful German phrases and German-English translations to help children, and their parents, communicate with hospital staff. Each book comes with a small pack of crayons and a puzzle to play with. The books help occupy children and keep their parents from worrying about their children sitting in the hospital bored.
