2024 GSHCC Gold Awardees
These Girl Scouts prove they’ve got what it takes to make our world a better place.
We recently honored 135 young women who earned their Silver, Gold or Rose Award at the annual Highest Awards celebration. These outstanding young women demonstrated remarkable dedication, creativity, and leadership as they worked tirelessly to earn their Highest Award. Their commitment to making a positive impact is inspiring and serves as a powerful reminder of the difference one can make when driven by passion and purpose.

This year, 29 Girl Scouts earned their Gold Award, the highest, most prestigious award in Girl Scouting. Gold Award Girl Scouts commit a minimum of 80 hours to transform an idea and vision for change in their community into an actionable plan with measurable, sustainable, and far-reaching results.

Congratulations to all our Highest Award Girl Scouts! We are proud of their accomplishments and excited to see how they will continue to lead and innovate in the future.
