Katherine Rose Hand of Chapel Hill, Alyanna Ridimann of Pittsboro and Anna Smith of Carrboro have been awarded the Girl Scout Silver Award by Girl Scouts-N.C. Coastal Pines, the second highest achievement in Girl Scouting. The award helps girls build skills, explore careers, gain leadership skills and make a commitment to self-improvement.
The three girls organized a Fourth of July Fun Run in Heritage Hills. Participants learned about animal safety and care and were encouraged to bring items to donate to the Paws4Ever animal shelter in Mebane.
Hand is a freshman at Carrboro High School, Ridimann at Northwood High and Smith at Carrboro High. They’re members of Girl Scout Troop 1280.
