Girl Scout earns Gold Award for garden beds Misty Cole, the Girl Scout who rebuilt Manor of the Plains’ garden beds, has recently been awarded the organization’s Gold Award—it’s top and most-prestigious award—for her work. Earning the award, which is comparable to the Boy Scout rank of Eagle Scout, was an honor Misty had set her sights on upon entering the Girl Scouts. “When I started Girl Scouts 13 years ago, there was a girl who had just recently earned her Gold Award and I went to her ceremony and I told myself, ‘I want to be that girl,’” said Misty. The project resulted in six, 10-foot and two, 18-foot beds and took Misty a year and half of aroundthe-clock work to complete. However, despite the lengthy— and sometimes late in the day—disruptions, Misty was grateful to the ongoing patience and support of the residents and staff.
