What is the Girl Scout Gold Award?
"The Gold Award is the highest award that a Senior or Ambassador Girl Scout (grades 9–12) can earn. To become a Gold Award Girl Scout, a girl identifies an issue that’s important to her, then develops and carries out an innovative and sustainable solution with measurable impact. Each solution/project must link to a national and/or global issue. Gold Award Girl Scouts truly are the world changers, rock stars, role models, and real-life heroes we all look up to."
