The Girl Scout Gold Award
The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, has five requirements, all of which demand efficient organization, time management, and leadership skills. The requirements are:
1. Earn four interest project patches on topics related to your Gold Award project. See Cadette and Senior Girl Scout Interest Projects.
2. Earn the Career Exploration pin (for details, see pages 152-156).
3. Earn the Senior Girl Scout Leadership Award (for details, see pages 151-152).
4. Earn the Senior Girl Scout Challenge (for details, see pages 158-161).
5. Plan and implement a Girl Scout Gold Award project that requires at least 50 hours of work (see pages 169-173).
Requirements 1-4 may be completed in any order, but must be fulfilled prior to beginning the Gold Award project. Note that your accomplishments prior to registration as a Senior Girl Scout may not be used toward the completion of your Gold Award.
As reported in the Summer 2000 Girl Scout Leader magazine. "The Girl Scout Gold Award, however, is not for every girl. Between one and two percent of all Girl Scouts (approximately 3,000 girls each year) receive the Girl Scout Gold Award. A Girl Scout Gold Awardee is someone special who had done something extraordinary."
SueAnn and Jen are creating this web page for their Gold Award Project. They plan for this project to be completed in January 1999.
We hope that you have learned a little about the Gold Award.
