The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, earned by Girl Scouts ages 14-17.  It is designed to be a culmination of all you have learned and experienced in Girl Scouting.

You may work on the Gold Award from the time you begin 9^th grade or 14 years of age and must complete the requirements for the award by the end of the membership year of you senior year in high school.  You may work with your troop on many aspects of the Gold Award.  However, it is highly recommended that the final Gold Award project be an individual effort.

The award has five requirements, all which require efficient organization, time management and leadership skills.  To find out more about the requirements refer to the Girl Scout Gold Award Go For It Studio 2B focus insert (available at council shop).
