Congratulations to the 87 Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts who recently earned their Gold Award for making a long-lasting impact in their communities. The council honored the girls during its recent Gold Award ceremony. The Gold Award Girl Scouts, representing areas from across Southeast Texas, received their award during the May 18 ceremony at the Stafford Civic Center. The Gold Award is the most prestigious in Girl Scouting. Earning the award can open doors to numerous opportunities, including scholarships as well as college and career prospects. Girls earn the Girl Scout Gold Award after they successfully plan and carry out a Take Action project. This year's Gold Award projects focused on issues ranging from cancer awareness and music education to green space preservation and literacy. The project must include the following components:
Eighty-four Bronze and Silver Award Girl Scouts also attended, so they could imagine themselves walking across the stage and receiving a Gold Award. The younger girls were asked to stand to be recognized during the celebration and later earned an "I was Inspired by a Gold Award Girl Scout" patch.
