A Girl Scout since she was in the second grade, 18-year-old Natalie Lanier addressed the Bulloch County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday as one of the final steps for her Gold Award project that would help save lives in Bulloch County. The Gold Award is the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts of America; less than 6 percent of eligible Girl Scouts earn the award. One component of the award requires a Girl Scout senior to plan and implement a sustainable, measurable project that directly impacts her community.
