Hawley Montgomery

Eliza Anderson, 11, has earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can receive. To achieve a Bronze Award, the Scout must complete a community service project, in addition to several other prerequisites.

For her Bronze Award project, Anderson built a Spirit Wall, made with six-inch ceramic tiles, for her school, Perry-Lecompton Middle School. She hosted several workshops so students, staff and families could paint their own tiles. Her only requirement was the tiles must be school-related. After the tiles were completed, she had them fired and installed on the wall near the entrance of the school. The Spirit Wall has 96 tiles. She coordinated the project through Sunfire Ceramics. Kring’s Interiors donated all the supplies for installing the wall.

Anderson is a member of Perry-Lecompton Troop 7396, whose leader is Monicka Rembolt.

During his Scouting career, he earned 26 merit badges; became a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow; and has served as patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader and historian.

A member of the United Methodist Church in Eudora and Holy Family CCD youth group, he is the son of David Montgomery and Cindy Higgins, Eudora.
