(Beaver County, PA) Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania is recognizing Beaver County Gold Award Girl Scout Alexandra Dietz for earning the Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. 

Dietz received the award for addressing pollinator decline through the creation of three sustainable pollinator gardens in her community. As part of the project, she partnered with local organizations, recruited volunteers and educated residents about creating pollinator-friendly habitats. 

She also distributed seed packets, conducted presentations and hosted hands-on workshops aimed at encouraging community members to support pollinators in their own neighborhoods. 

The Gold Award is available to high school-aged Girl Scouts who complete projects that address community issues through sustainable, long-term solutions.
