Girl Scouts delivers the best leadership experience for girls, setting them up for a lifetime of success. Every year, thousands of inspiring future leaders are honored with the Girl Scout Gold Award, the most prestigious award in the world for girls, and the most difficult to earn. See how Gold Award Girl Scouts are taking action, creating change today for a better tomorrow.

Girl Scouts make the most of every chance they get to improve themselves…and their world. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls—and with opportunities from coast to coast and around the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.

Applications are now open for 2019 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. This youth recognition program, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, has recognized more than 120,000 middle and high school students, including thousands of Girl Scouts, at the local, state and national level for outstanding acts of volunteerism over the past 23 years. Top winners receive sizable cash awards, engraved medallions and an all-expense-paid trip with a parent or guardian to Washington, D.C., for the national award ceremony in May 2019.

Applications must be submitted to this office by November 6, 2018. We will then review applications and select one or more Girl Scouts to represent our council in the state-level judging. If you have any questions or need a paper version of the application, please call 855-670-4787. Continue to learn more or apply online.
