Where common Gold Award beliefs are
labeled myth or reality... |
| Belief
1: Girl Scouts may do a collection
for their entire project.
MYTH!
A collection is not an acceptable Gold Award Project.
However, if a collection is part of a larger Gold
Award project that focuses on leadership rather
than simply service, then yes she may do a collection.
For example, a Girl Scout plans to educate the
community about cancer prevention and treatment.
As a secondary element, she collects hats for
chemotherapy patients from the different organizations
she visits to make her educational presentations. |

A
trained docent will guide troops through the history
of GSSJC as they tour the center at 3110 Southwest
Freeway. Visits include participating in a scavenger
hunt in the Goodykoontz library and memorabilia
room and learning about Juliette Low’s life
and interests through the Golden Eaglet, an old
fashioned silent movie. Juniors will complete
a portion of Girl Scouting in the USA Badge.
