Girl Scout Gold Awards
The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award for Girl Scouts 14-17, focuses on leadership, career exploration, challenge for personal growth and community action. A girl who has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award can look forward to greater access to college scholarships, paid internships and community awards. She can also be nominated for consideration as a recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award Young Woman of Distinction honor from Girl Scouts of the USA. More than 3,500 Girl Scouts design, implement and complete Gold Award projects each year. This past year 30 girls from the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York earned Girl Scout Gold Awards
Throughout the multiyear transition period, no girls will lose out on experiences, projects or awards they have already started. Girls at every level can continue to use all available existing materials as new resources are developed and phased in. Adults are invited to use their best judgment to assist girls in choosing projects that are appropriate for their grade level. Existing program resources will continue to serve as supplements to the new materials through 2010.
