Sophia N. ’26 received her Girl Scouts Gold Award for her project, Fish vs. Plastic, a program she developed to educate students on the importance of properly disposing of and recycling plastic to protect bodies of water and the fish we consume. She wrote and self-published an 80-page book, Fish vs. Plastic, through Amazon, integrating it into community outreach efforts while encouraging action to transform lakes and oceans into clean, environmentally friendly spaces. Sophia completed thirteen years of scouting, filled with cookie sales, camping adventures, and community service.
