Nine-year-old Naomi Young of Niagara Park Girl Guides has received the highest Junior Girl Guide award, the Junior BP Emblem.
The national award is earned through covering challenges in all aspects of the guiding syllabus, such as Outdoors, Guiding Traditions, Service and Leadership.
Some of Naomi’s favourite challenges included teaching origami to the other girls in her unit, writing poems about the girls in her unit, making gifts for residents in aged care and delivering these.
“I enjoyed doing these challenges because they made me feel happy and I am proud of my achievements,” she said.
Naomi hopes to go on to the older sections of Girl Guides and continue her growth as a girl and a leader of the future.
