Together, Gold Award Girl Scouts Are Turning California Gold
Girl Scouts across California are earning the highest award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award. They are engaged with their communities, doing project work that goes above and beyond, and sharing their leadership with others to make all of California’s communities stronger. Gold Award Girl Scouts are turning California gold, one Gold Award at a time.
Open to girls in high school only, the Girl Scout Gold Award is the most prestigious award in the world for girls (and the most difficult to earn), and it’s available exclusively to Girl Scouts.
When Girl Scouts earn the Gold Award, they can tackle the issues most important to them and their communities. Gold Award Girl Scouts are inspiring leaders who are working on a broad range of the most challenging problems facing our world today—from human trafficking to ocean pollution to education access to expanded STEM training for girls in underserved communities.
Gold Award Girl Scouts also have a competitive edge in the college admissions process and be eligible for scholarships.
