Columbus Local News: > Archives > Westerville News & Public Opinion > Schools > Gold fever: 6th girl in same troop up for Gold Scout Award
Westerville North High School senior Emma Kenreigh will round out 10 weeks of volunteering at Emerson Magnet School by teaching a group of fourth-graders how to sing songs without uttering a word.
The contender for the Girl Scout Gold Award -- Girl Scouting's top award, akin to the Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts -- will do it with the skills she learned in four years of American Sign Language classes.
"I love kids, and I love ASL, so it seemed like a natural fit to combine the two," said Kenreigh, 18.
Through 10 weeks, she said she hopes to teach the elementary school students to sign full songs, the alphabet and much more, and will introduce the students to deaf visitors from the Columbus Colony Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for the Deaf.
If all goes well she will earn her Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn, and become the 17th member of her troop to earn the distinction since 2008.
