A Mercer County girl scout was bestowed a rare honor Monday night following her heroic actions in the Summer of 2023. Troop 2037 Girl Scout, Abigail Kunkler of St. Henry, was awarded the Medal of Honor after she saved the life of a young boy. In August of 2023, Abigail was at a pond for a swim party when she noticed a little boy struggling to stay afloat and submerged under the water. Without a life jacket, Abigail leaped off the dock into the water and saved the boy from drowning. After receiving her medal, we talked with Abigail about what she remembers from that day and the overall meaning of this rare honor.
Three fun-filled days wrapped up today as 30 young ladies were introduced to scouting. It was time to cool off when we caught up to these scouts having fun playing Duck-Duck-Goose. It was their annual Recruitment Day Camp to introduce girl scouting to these possible future scouts. Several agencies came in to provide educational projects, and basic scouting tasks like fire building were also covered.
A Wapakoneta Girl Scout just made a tremendous purchase for the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office that will benefit the entire county! Emma Hunley with Troop 2063 raised $50,000 and purchased a brand new pickup truck for the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office DARE program. She pursued this project to complete her Girl Scout Gold Award which is the highest award in Girl Scouts and equivalent to the Eagle Scout. When Emma heard the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office budget would be reduced due to decreases of tax revenue from the pandemic, she knew she had to help, and with her dream becoming a reality, Emma hopes she inspires other girls that they can do anything.
