Gold Award

 

Girl Scout Gold Award

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors can earn. When you decide to earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, you are on your honor to uphold the Standards of Excellence. These standards set a high benchmark for everything you do and invite you to think deeply, explore opportunities, and challenge yourself. Following the Standards of Excellence challenges you to develop yourself as a leader, achieve the Girl Scout Leadership Outcomes and make a mark on your community that creates a lasting impact on the lives of others.

Girls earning the Girl Scout Gold Award will receive their awards at the Annual Council Meeting, which is held every April in Dover, DE. Our Board of Directors is very excited about the opportunity to congratulate the girls and hear about their wonderful projects. This will also give our delegates the chance to meet the girls and share the girls' accomplishments with their Service Units. Service Units, in conjunction with recipients' families, should also plan to honor girls on the local level. Please look for an invitation in your mail if you are a Girl Scout Gold Award Recipient sometime in late February or early March.

Girl Scout Gold Award Proposals will be reviewed by members of the Gold Award Review Committee. Girls can choose to make a presentation to the committee and ask for their comments, suggestions, and advice, or they can opt to have the committee review their applications and respond to them in writing. The approval process is faster for those making a presentation because there is no waiting time to have questions answered or points clarified, but it is up to each individual girl how she wishes to proceed.

Where: Location varies with population of Girl Scout Gold Proposals in need of review. Please contact the Leadership Program Specialist for more information.
Time: 6:30 - 8:30pm
You MUST submit your proposal 6 weeks prior to start date of project. Proposals are due by the first day of every month.
