100 Years of Extraordinary Projects from Extraordinary Girls
As a Gold Award recipient, you're part of an elite group of women.
Starting in 1916, the best and brightest undertook projects that improved their communities—and the world.
The Golden Eaglet insignia, the highest award in Girl Scouting from 1916 to 1939, marked the beginning of a long tradition of recognizing the extraordinary efforts of extraordinary girls. From 1940 to 1963, the Curved Bar Award was the highest honor in Girl Scouting. From 1963 to 1980, the highest award was called First Class. And since 1980, the Gold Award has inspired girls to find the greatness inside themselves and share their ideas and passions with their communities.
