Gold Award Training— Go For Gold Dec. 6, 9:30 am-3:30 pm

Offered to: Senior | Ambassador Grades 9-12

This training workshop is for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors who are interested in beginning their Gold Award. All Girl Scouts are eligible to earn this prestigious award, regardless if they earned the Silver Award as a Cadette. Please note that this is an expanded version of the required Gold Award training, therefore, Girl Scouts who attends this workshop will not have to attend additional training. Participants will learn the seven steps necessary to complete their Gold Award project, hear from Gold Award alum, meet members of the Gold Award committee, and begin working in the GoGold website. Since this workshop is provided for Seniors and Ambassador Girl Scouts, we welcome interested caregivers and troop leaders to attend a shorter Gold Award training session provided throughout the year.
