The Gold Award

"Gold Award Girl Scouts are the dreamers and the doers who take “make the world a better place” to the next level. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the mark of the truly remarkable—proof that not only can she make a difference, but that she already has.

Seniors and Ambassadors who earn the Gold Award tackle issues that are dear to them and drive lasting change in their communities and beyond. Think of the Gold Award as a key that can open doors to scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college, and amazing career opportunities. " - girlscouts.org

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest honor for a Girl Scout to earn. I chose to go for gold, because I love helping people, and creating change in the world. Getting my Gold Award is the next level of helping my community, and making a lasting difference. I knew that this experience would also be very valuable, teaching me life skills like leadership, decision making, and project management. I'm definitely glad I chose to go for gold, and for any Girl Scouts out there, I encourage you to do so as well! All the time and effort you will put into this creates a rewarding experience you will remember for the rest of your life!
