The Girl Scout Gold Award The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouts. Open only to girls in high school, it is the most prestigious award in the world for girls–and the most difficult to earn–and it’s only available to Girl Scouts.

Gold Award Girl Scouts are challenged to make a sustainable change in their community. These young women are inspiring leaders whose Gold Award projects are impacting the worlds of STEM, education, agriculture, medicine and more on a local, national or global level.

By the time a girl puts the final touches on her seven-step project, she will have solved a community problem–not only in the short term, but for years into the future–and she’ll be eligible for college scholarships.

In 2020, approximately 128 Girl Scouts in San Jacinto Council earned the Gold Award.

Learn more about the Gold Award at gssjc.org/goldawardgirlscout.

Thank you to our Gold Award Sponsor

Thank You, Troop Leaders!

Opening her eyes to a world of possibilities? Helping her transform into a force for good? Unleashing her most confident self? As a Girl Scout volunteer, our troop leaders are everyday heroes with an extraordinary super power: they prepare girls for a lifetime of leadership, success and adventure. Because of them, every girl has the opportunity to learn what she’s capable of accomplishing and reach for the stars. And with their mentorship and support, girls grow into the leaders and change-makers the world needs. Being a Girl Scout volunteer is one of the most powerful, rewarding journeys our leaders will ever embark on.

We celebrate the meaningful and inspiring contributions our volunteers make all year long. Because without their unwavering commitment, there would be no Girl Scouting. Our troop leaders are the reason we can make a difference, and we’re forever grateful to all that they give to girls and Girl Scouting!

Thank you to our Troop Leader Sponsor

We never miss an opportunity to serve.

ConocoPhillips Diversity & Inclusion Initiative Summary We strive to represent and reflect the global communities in which we live and work.

To deliver superior performance, we create an environment of inclusion that respects the contributions and differences of every individual (employees, contract workers, suppliers and business partners). Wherever possible, we use these differences to drive competitive business advantage, personal growth and, ultimately, create business success.

Our Focus As we pursue opportunities in a dynamic marketplace, we value motivated people who set the standard of excellence by: • Living our SPIRIT Values.

• Demonstrating a proactive attitude and being culturally capable of doing business globally.

• Using creativity and a variety of approaches to capture opportunities.

• Inspiring and supporting others to reach new heights.

Our Expectations Our pledge to diversity is a global commitment that reaches across the entire company. Our leadership team, managers and supervisors are accountable for developing and progressing our global inclusion initiatives. Additionally, employees and contractors are responsible for playing a key role in ensuring that their personal behaviors create an inclusive work environment. As a company, we continue to measure our progress toward becoming representative and reflective of the communities in which we live and work.
