What is a Girl Scouts Gold Award
What is the highest Girl Scouts award? The Girl Scouts Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. I earned my Girl Scout Gold Award in 2018, at the age of sixteen. Also in 2018 I earned the Young Women of Distinction. Stroll to the end of the blog to find out more about my journey to Girl Scout Gold.
Girl Scouts, Go get your Girl Scouts Gold Award. You can do, it's not easy but it's worth it. The process taught me a lot. How to handle adults asking questions. The community asked me a lot of questions, why? who? when?, etc. I was in a room standing with about 10 adults. They were sitting at a banquet table, stare at me, asking questions. I was prepared with facts, after approval, I was thrilled with the end results. Girl Scout Gold Award Alumni.
