Going for the Gold
To some, going gold means being the winner—the
fastest, the most competitive, or the one who fought
the hardest. For Girl Scouts, going gold means
earning the highest achievement in Girl Scouting,
the Gold Award. This award recognizes girls in grades
9-12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership
through sustainable and measurable Take Action
projects that address important community needs.
For many, the leadership and organizational skills, as
well as the sense of community and commitment
that comes from “Going Gold,” set the foundation
for a lifetime of active citizenship.

of Changing the World
