Celebrating Our Highest Award Girl Scouts
We had an amazing weekend at our Girl Award Ceremonies. We celebrated 131 Bronze Award Girl Scouts, 132 Silver Award Girl Scouts and 40 Gold Award Girl Scouts this year who have contributed well over 12,000 hours of service to their communities. Join us in this celebration and get inspired by the amazing leadership shown by our Girl Scouts by looking through and sharing our 2023-2024 Highest Awards Yearbook.
Want to take your leadership skills to the next level? Summer break can be a great time to start earning a Highest Award. Learn more and find our Highest Awards resources on our website. Don’t forget that Gold Award training is required before you start your project! We have two virtual training sessions happening this summer that you can register for on our calendar.
