| GOLD AWARD PROCESS
“HOW DO I KNOW WHERE I FIT”?
So, where do you fit? If you have not begun the Gold Award
process, then you will start on the New 7-Step program. If
you have completed two or more activities already in the Gold
Award process, then you are grandfathered under the original
Gold Award program. If you have started on the original Gold
Award program and the new program appeals to you more, then
take what you have already done and start on the new program.
Most of what you have done so far should fit into the new
program. Still not sure? Help is a phone call or e-mail away.
