NEW! Golden Nugget
Where
common Gold Award beliefs are labeled myth or reality…
Belief 1: My Girl Scouts
can’t work on their Gold Award until they attend Gold
Award Orientation.
MYTH! You do not have
to attend the Gold Award Orientation to begin work on the
Gold Award Process. Girl Scouts must be age 14 or going into
grade 9 to begin work on steps 1-3 of the Gold Award Process
(interest projects, Studio 2B Focus books, leadership hours
and career hours.) Gold Award Orientation may be taken at
any time during steps 1-3. A Girl Scout should have attended
Gold Award Orientation by the time she submits her initial
Gold Award project application to GSSJC. If it has been more
than 18 months since she attended Gold Award Orientation,
she will need to attend a refresher course or complete a home
study.
Belief 2: I must show my Gold
Award Final Report and Hour Log to my Gold Award Advisor before
submitting it to GSSJC for approval.
REALITY! Yes, you are
required to go over your Gold Award Final Report and Hour
Log with your Gold Award Advisor prior to submitting it to
GSSJC. All initial applications, final reports and hour logs
are due by the first of each month to ensure that they are
reviewed at that month’s Gold Award Advisory Committee
meeting.
