Two Sunbeams, a character-building program for girls in grades one to five, from the Sheridan (Wyo.) Corps earned the Commissioner’s Sunbeam Award, the highest achievement possible for a Sunbeam.
Lt. Colonel Helen Starrett, Intermountain divisional director of women’s ministries, awarded medals and certificates to Alyssa Mauck and Nichole Wilson during a holiness meeting at the corps with Corps Officers Captain David and Major Geraldine Leonard.
“Both young ladies are outstanding examples of the youth of the USA Western Territory,” Starrett said.
The girls said they liked learning about Jesus, going to camp and helping people.
“I love to do projects and crafts to take to the nursing homes, and to see how happy it makes them,” Mauck said.
Wilson said, “When I can I would like to be an officer for the Army and help others.”
