What will you be remembered for? Girl Scout Gold Award Girls must be in ninth, tenth, eleventh or twelfth grade and a registered Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador. The project must be sustainable and last after the girl’s involvement ends. A focus on education and raising awareness is one way to make sure a project is carried on. Workshops and hands-on learning sessions can inspire others to keep the project going. Another way to create a sustainable project is by collaborating with community groups, civic associations, non-profit agencies, local government, and/or religious organizations to ensure the project lasts beyond the girl’s involvement. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. The Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors who have earned this award have invested 80 or more hours into their projects. They have entered an elite sisterhood – only about five percent of Girl Scouts nationally have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. If added up, the amount of hours put into these community service projects this year by the 23 Girl Scout Gold Award recipients in our council would be more than 1,800 hours!
