Girl Scout Gold Award
A girl wishing to earn a Gold Award needs to submit a project proposal form to council prior to beginning the award project. When the award project is completed, the final report form must be submitted to council for approval. If a girl is approved to receive the Gold Award, Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, Inc. will purchase the award pin for her.
Here are the forms you will need.
