The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting, earned by Senior or Ambassador Girl Scouts who create sustainable, measurable, and lasting change on a community issue. Recipients complete a minimum of 80 hours of work, demonstrating exceptional leadership.
Girl Scouts identify a root cause of a local or global issue and implement a project with lasting, measurable impact. The process includes choosing an issue, researching, recruiting a team, creating a plan, submitting a proposal, taking action, and educating others.

Over the course of the month, we will be highlighting the Girl Scouts of Western New York Gold Awardees! Please join us as we congratulate Grace Dolan on earning Girl Scouting’s highest honor!

Grace’s project, “Teen Mentorship Program,” focused on building supportive relationships and mentorship opportunities for teens within her community. Through leadership and guidance, Grace created opportunities for younger individuals to gain confidence, support, and valuable life skills.
