Middletown's Alexis Volpe earned the second highest award in Girl Scouting by creating a giant metal daisy sculpture with eight petals memorializing the 6-year-old girls who died in last year's school shooting.
Her came from the idea, planning and construction of a giant metal daisy that is the centerpiece of a display with eight path lights (one for each of the Daisy Scouts lost), clusters of live daisies and the sculpture in a bed of wood chips at Smith Memorial Park on Country Club Road.
The Girl Scout Silver Award is the second highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can achieve and the minimum time for earning it is 50 hours.
Each project is multifaceted and includes several steps. Scouts must explore their community, identify the issues they care about, build a team or choose to go solo, pick a meaningful project, develop it and put it into motion.
