On May 17, 239 Girl Scouts received their Silver Awards at the Starlight Theater in Balboa Park. From La Jolla, 16 girls received their award, 14 girls from Troop 3093 and two Juliettes. The Silver Award is an award recognizing the Girl Scouts for their hard work and accomplishments as they grow and works to improve their lives and the lives of others. The four main steps for the Girl Scout Silver Award helps the girls build skills, explore career opportunities, gain leadership skills and to commit to something on their own without major help from others. Troop 3093 put on a weekend encampment in Julian for 80 other Girl Scouts. The encampment’s purpose was to empower all the Girl Scouts to continue in scouting for all the benefits and fun that it offers. All 14 girls in Troop 3093 have expressed interest in going toward their Gold Award. La Jolla Troop 3093 has been together since the first grade and they are now ninth graders at La Jolla High and The Bishop’s School.
