Five members of Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 5958 each earned the Gold Award, which is the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. To earn the Gold Award, young women have to demonstrate superior leadership, organization and a higher commitment to community service to complete a project of lasting impact to the community. The Gold Award is highly regarded by colleges and universities, the U.S. Armed Services and employers; roughly six percent of Girl Scouts nationwide earn this prestigious award.
The young women are all graduating seniors from Stone Bridge High School and Briar Woods High School. Their unique projects leave a lasting impact on the communities they served through their projects.
