Girl Scout Gold Award |
|
|
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Senior Girl Scout may earn. Someone once described the Girl Scout Gold Award as being "what you really want to be remembered for" in Girl Scouting. For many, the leadership skills, organizational skills, sense of community and commitment that come from "going for the gold" cement the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship.
There are actually five parts to the Girl Scout Gold Award. The first four parts must be completed before the Gold Award Project is undertaken. |
The Gold Award project is something that a girl can be passionate about in thought, deed, and action. The project is something that fulfills a need within her community (whether local or global), creates change, and hopefully, is something that becomes ongoing. If it is an event, the event should be something that people will want to continue for the next year. The project is more than a good service project—it encompasses organizational, leadership, and networking skills. If a group of girls work on the project together, each girl must be responsible for a specific part of the project and must evaluate her participation as an individual and a member of the group.
