For creating a volunteer information website, Ormond Beach teen Katie Giacobbe won the Girl Scouts Gold Award.

Girls scouts of Troop 371, be proud.

Ormond Beach member and local teen Katie Giacobbe was recently awarded the Girl Scouts Gold Award for her leadership project “Your Local Volunteer.” For her project, Giacobbe created a website providing teens with information on volunteering and connecting them to opportunities within Volusia County.

The Gold Award is the highest award a girl scout can earn and is given to those who successfully complete an 80-hour leadership project about their passions. Now a senior in high school, Giacobbe has been a girl scout since she was in kindergarten and said Girl Scouts helped her realize hard work can produce successful outcomes.
