The Girl Scout Gold Award The first Golden Eagle of Merit was handed out in 1916, starting a proud tradition that has inspired lives and changed communities. Since then, almost one million girls have earned this distinction. This pinnacle of girl-focused leadership has been inspiring young Girl Scouts for 100 years and we are so happy to be the ones to celebrate this amazing Centennial. The Gold Award is the highest Take Action project a Girl Scout can take on. Any Girl Scout from 9-12th grade can apply to have their project considered. They need to have completed a Silver Award and one Senior/Ambassador Journey or two Senior/ Ambassador Journeys. These serve as an introduction into Take Action projects and the kind of long-lasting impact they can have in the community. Girls are inspired by the positive change they bring in these projects and it is not unusual for a Gold Award proposal to expand on an issue that is near and dear to a girl’s heart. Gold Award projects in Citrus Council include nursing home renovations, outdoor classroom creations, environmental protection and much more. Gold Award girls have changed the lives of children, senior citizens, and even pets across the whole nation. Gold Awardees receive scholarships, enter at one rank higher than other recruits in the armed services and are favored throughout the university admissions process. They know that any Girl Scout who has completed her Gold Award has demonstrated exemplary leadership and has already changed the world. We are celebrating this proud cohort at the In Her Honor ceremony in June 2016 and we can’t wait to hear what this amazing group of Girl Scouts has to say!

Going for Gold: Looking Ahead to 2016 We wanted to know from some of our girls currently earning their Gold Award - just what impact do they think their Gold Award experience will have for them and their communities? Nicole B. 2016 Gold Award Recipient building, and relaxing outside with friends. The Outdoor Classroom for the kids at the after school program will be designed for the kids to start learning how to grow and maintain a garden. I would like to give the kids at the YMCA a place that they can learn the value of the benefits of growing a garden as well as a place where they can study the different habitats. This area will not only allow the kids to have a hands on experience but will also allow the kids to have an outside area. Q: Please describe your project and what inspired you to choose this project? My project is centered on getting kids outside more and for them to experience nature. I hope my project helps the children learn to love and appreciate nature in many ways like gardening, Q: What do you see as the long-term community impact and sustainability of your project? My Project helps get kids and people outside to enjoy nature. This allows them to be more active, and it also allows them to use less electric for example AC and lights. Q: What did you learn about yourself and your leadership skills when organizing/completing this project? I have learned to delegate to others and not worry about the small things. I don’t need to be in control 110% of time, I need to relax more not get too tense. After the project was all done and seeing it finished, being able to reflect on what I have accomplished was the best part of the project. Also knowing I just built this classroom that people can use and benefit the community helped me understand the importance of my project. Q: Any other comments you would like to share about your Gold Award experience? I feel like these skills and accomplishments will help me in future projects. Doing amazing projects like this helps me gained many skills like money management, and communication skills. These skills will help me better control situations and problem solve. This project was an amazing experience. Dedication ceremony of the Outdoor Classroom at the Church 11
