PHOENIXVILLE, PA — She is Kim Fern's last troop member for Girl Scout Troop 4069 of Valley Forge, and Alexis Booz leaves with the Gold Award for a project that helped Angels in Motion provide sleeping comfort for homeless persons.
Booz is a 2020 graduate of Phoenixville Area High School and since 2016 has been part of the Girl Scouts troop that for a long time met at St. John's Lutheran Church. Troop Leader Fern said it is rare to have a new member join at the high school level, but through friendly connections and her sister, came into the troop.
