Outstanding girl guide
It is an honour for Damanpreet Kaur, now a student of Lovely Institutes, who has been selected for the coveted Rashtrapati Award by the National Commission for Scouts and Guides.
As a student of Little Angels Public School in Faridkot, Damanpreet had attended a Rashtrapati Guide Award Testing Camp at Guide House in Model Town here in September 2003, for which she would be given the award soon.
She has already got a provisional certificate from the national headquarters of
Bharat Scouts and Guides, New Delhi, for having been selected for the award.
Even as the award is coming almost two years later, this has not dampened the
spirit of the young guide.
