Become a Gold Award Girl Scout.
Change the world, change your life, and earn the most prestigious award in Girl Scouting!
Gold Award Girl Scouts are rock stars, role models, and real-life heroes. How do they do it? By using everything they’ve learned as a Girl Scout to help make a lasting change in their world.
Girl Scouts who want to get involved and go for the Gold Award get a team of trusted adults and leaders in their community to guide them through challenges and lead them to success, step-by-step.
Nothing beats that feeling of seeing real, lasting, and sustainable change and knowing it was you who made it happen. And, having a Girl Scout Gold Award on your high school transcript or resume can help you stand out when it comes to college admissions, scholarship applications, internships, and job interviews.
