Gurnee

Scouting award: More than 50 local high school students recently earned Girl Scouts of the USA’s most prestigious national honor for girls, the Girl Scout Gold Award. Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana honored their accomplishments during a special ceremony on June 6, at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook. Allison Olshefke of Gurnee, a member of Girl Scout Troop 43576, received her Girl Scout Gold Award after completing a complex series of requirements, including the implementation of a significant community service project. Olshefke, 19, earned her Gold Award by initiating “Band Together for Zion-Benton,” which focused on “the discrepancy between the importance of arts within schools and the budgets they are given.” As part of her project, Olshefke raised money to support the band program at Zion-Benton Township High School. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Girl Scout, ages 14-18, may earn.
