Gold Award

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 solve a problem in their community or make a lasting change in their world.
Seniors and Ambassadors who want to go for the Gold Award build a team of trusted adults, peers, and leaders in their community to guide them through challenges and support their success.
Plus, nothing beats that feeling of seeing real, lasting, and sustainable change and knowing it was you who made it happen. It changes the way you see your place in the world—and how the world sees you.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) is committed to ensuring that all youth members, regardless of ability, have the opportunity to achieve the Gold Award—Girl Scouts’ highest honor.
When a Girl Scout requests accommodations, GSEP staff will work with the family to understand the specific needs and determine reasonable accommodations. The Council will then communicate directly with the Gold Award Committee to share these accommodations and ensure committee members feel prepared to support the Girl Scout effectively.
Our goal is to treat every Girl Scout with the attention, respect, and support they deserve as they pursue the Gold Award.
