Lilith Frakes
Frakes’ Gold Award project was to paint an elementary school playground with a map of the world to provide young students with a better knowledge of world geography and to instill curiosity for the world around them.
After researching types of projections of maps, Frakes led a team of high school students in painting a large-scale world map on the local elementary school playground. She also compiled a list of activities and resources that could be useful for the students and presented it to the local elementary school principal.
Frakes was supported in her Gold Award effort by Emily Fields, David Howes, Sarah Lavin, Liz Saver, Claire Eckert, Duah Ayaz and Bailee Slike. A local paint supply store also supported her efforts.
Her Gold Award project took nearly a year to complete. She began working on it in November 2015 and it was completed in October.
Frakes is a senior at Clarion Area High School and serves in a leadership position as vice president of the senior class and the school band. She also serves as president of Youth Council.
As a Girl Scout member for eight years, Frakes is a Girl Scout ambassador as a Juliette (an independently registered Girl Scout).
