A gold standard for one Oconomowoc Girl Scout nets her a $10k scholarship

OCONOMOWOC, Wis. (CBS 58) -- 18-year-old Kathleen Krautheim from Oconomowoc has so many Girl Scout badges. It's no wonder. She's been in the scouting program since kindergarten. Her sash is filled with pins and awards and now she's ready for her next chapter.

She's going to UW-Madison, majoring in Biochemistry. But before she left high school, she completed one of her most important projects. She created and ran a camp called "Little Scoopers" during the summer of 2022 at an intermediate school in Oconomowoc. It taught first and second graders ways to lead better, more healthy lives. Her efforts netted her $10k in scholarship money. Her award money will go toward paying off her tuition.
