Our Gold Award Honorees
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that Girl Scouts can earn, achieved by only 5-6 percent of eligible Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors annually. Earning the Gold Award requires a suggested 80 hours of planning and implementing a challenging, large-scale project that is innovative, engages others, and has a lasting impact on its targeted community with an emphasis on sustainability.
