Every day,
YOU
, our volunteers make fun, friendship, and awesome new experiences possible for girls. We’ve received fantastic feedback from you about honoring more achievements and not just reserving award presentations for a certain time of the year.
New for 2019,
we are excited to roll out new opportunities to recognize the AMAZING people who make Girl Scouting possible across our council:
- Special Staff Selected Awards presented throughout the year (and more than ever before!)
- Council Level Recognition (nominations due by Feb. 24) with recognition at Inspire a Girl on Apr. 7
- Continued Service Unit Awards

The Highest Award in Girl Scouts is Gold - Note Important Changes to Past Highest Award Names
|
Girl Scouts who earned their First Class, Curved Bar, Golden Eaglet, or Golden Eagle of Merit, are a part of the Gold Award Girl Scout family. To make it official, we’re debuting a digital credential for you to display on LinkedIn (and other digital platforms) to show that you earned the highest award in Girl Scouting. Now you can display your award with pride and show the world—and potential employers—that you can triumph over any challenge that comes your way! Learn more and
fill out the form to access your digital badge
, and if you are a recipient of one of the prior awards, you can get your Gold Award pin, too!
