A local Girl Scout accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom award on behalf of the organization’s founder on Tuesday.
Georgie Ekechukwu traveled to The White House where President Obama posthumously awarded the highest civilian honor to Juliette Gordon Low. Low founded the Girl Scouts in 1912 in Savannah, Ga.
Ekechukwu attended the ceremony with Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chávez.
Were there no family members of Ms. Juliette Gordon Low that could have accepted the reward in her honor?
I was sad to see in the article that President Obama had died. Does the Chronicle need editors?
What was her connection to Juliette Lowe? Why was she chosen to receive the award? I would have thought a Girl Scout from Savannah would have been picked.
