Katherine Zammit is a former Nassau County Girl Scout and a 2015 Gold Award Recipient.
For her Gold Award Project, Katherine addressed the stereotype that disabled individuals are not as talented or capable as others. She organized mini-talent shows and classes for mainstream children to showcase the special talents of children with disabilities. Each week, both sets of children wrote in their “talent books” what they learned about themselves or from each other. Once Katherine graduated high school in 2017, St. Raphael’s religion program and Camp Anchor continued her program, according to the Girl Scouts of Nassau County.
