Los Peñasquitos girl is only the fourth San Diegan in a decade to earn the national Girl Scout Medal of Honor
Last Sept. 4 started as a fun Saturday at the Los Peñasquitos home of Anna and Karl Umstadter as the family got ready to go sailing. Then things quickly turned chaotic.
As an Encinitas Junior Lifeguard, she had seen CPR demonstrations during her lifeguard training and at school. She also had been involved in the local Girl Scouts beginning in first grade as a Daisy and graduating to the Cadette level, filling four vests with achievement badges along the way. “If Amelia wasn’t around, I would have been unconscious on the ground suffocating and bleeding out,” he adds. “I’m very lucky to have my daughter.”
