Eleanor Wilton of Girl Scout Troop 70913 Earns Girl Scout Gold Award.

Eleanor Wilton’s Gold Award project, entitled “Stress Management and Coping Skills”, consisted of planning, organizing and leading workshops for middle schoolers to learn about stress from an age-appropriate sci- entific perspective, have open discussions about stress and explore cop- ing techniques, and the creation and distribution of informational pam- phlets for both students and parents about stress and coping skills. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award in Girl Scouting, with only approximately 5% of eligible Girl Scouts achieving this prestigious scout recognition.
