The council Gold Award Committee is looking for a few new members who wish to help Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts succeed in earning their Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting.
The committee meets monthly (via phone) and reviews project proposals and final reports. They ensure that projects meet GSUSA guidelines, review the size, scope, and cost of each project, make recommendations for project development, guarantee that the project is appropriate to earn the Girl Scout Gold Award and ensure a consistent Gold Award process for girl members in our council.
Members of the committee also serve as mentors to girls who are working on projects by guiding and supporting their endeavors. Committee members are encouraged to participate in the annual Gold, Silver and Graduating Senior ceremony and serve as award trainers.
This Council-level volunteer position is open to any registered adult member willing to be a positive role model for girls in order to build our leaders of tomorrow. Committee members should possess:
- A desire to improve the quality of Gold Award projects and build a strong network of support
- Experience earning this award or helping girls through the process preferred, but not required.
- Reliable access to internet
- The ability to make fair and impartial decisions
- Consistent time to dedicate to the process (approximately 3-5 hours per week)
If you are interested in serving on the committee, or if you would like more information, please email gold@girlscoutsdiamonds.org.
