One of the most prestigious annual awards given by Girl Scouts – Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas was bestowed on Texarkana resident Andréa Chewning, during the Girl Scouts – Diamonds recent Annual Meeting and Leadership Conference.

Over the last four years as Board Chair, she has led the Diamonds Council tirelessly, respectfully and as a Girl Scout with courage, confidence and character. Chewning has served in a variety of capacities with Girl Scout councils for years. She is a lifetime Girl Scout, participating from second grade through high school, and was a camp counselor at Camp High Point.
