First responders have to be ready for any situation, at any moment. But they can't think of everything. That's where a Washington County Girl Scout and her mom come in. Kailey Ambrose is on the autism spectrum. She and her mom realized EMTs might need a special set of tools for people with sensory disorders. Kailey, 21, has been a Girl Scout for years. She has a sash filled with badges to prove it. "So ever since 4th grade, she's been in Girl Scouts, and we've had some fun times," said mom, Bethann Ambrose. Kailey has also marked some big milestones along the way. This year, she became a Gold Award winner, by coming up with an important tool. She designed a sensory medic kit for first responders. "As you see, the bag is not real big. So, anything that is in here was thought out really well," explained teacher Julie Quigley, removing each item carefully.
