More than 200 Girl Scouts were honored recently for achieving Girl Scouting’s highest leadership honors at the On My Honor ceremony at the Sheraton Music City Hotel.

Cadette Girl Scouts Kayla Bell and Maddie Stein of Troop 2719 in Warren County were recognized for earning the Silver Award, the highest achievement a Cadette Girl Scout can earn.

Over 150 Cadette Girl Scouts throughout the Girl Scout Council of Cumberland Valley’s 38-county region received the Silver Award this year. To earn the award, each girl fulfilled criteria in leadership, life skills and career exploration activities as well as carried out a major community service project that took at lease 30 hours to complete.

The Girl Scout Council of Cumberland Valley serves more than 25,000 girls and nearly 8,000 adult volunteers in 38 counties in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, and is a part of Girl Scouts of the USA, the world’s preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.6 million girls and adults nationwide.
