A new tradition
Emma Victoria Nichols of Troop 10362 graduated from Lebanon High School in New Hampshire on June 8. She joined the Girl Scouts as a Daisy and “stayed in for the long haul,” said VSC Susan Henderson, Emma’s grandmother and former troop leader. Emma earned her Bronze Award along the way, and is now a lifetime member of Girl Scouts. Henderson attended the Global Leadership Conference with Emma, and was impressed that the recognized the girls graduating from high school. She then proposed to her service unit that they do something similar. Now SU 221 is honoring all high school graduating Girl Scouts by giving them a Girl Scout tassel and certificate.
