NEW Go for Gold Training

Go for Gold training is now divided into two training components. The first required training is a convenient and interactive online module that girls can complete any time prior to attending the second module. The second module is a face-to-face training that will help girls discover a need in their community that can be addressed by completing the Girl Scout Gold Award. The online module covers the nuts and bolts of Going for Gold. Girls can start and stop this training as needed and can even go back to reference information. The online portion will cover the seven steps to Girl Scout Gold, prerequisites for the Girl Scout Gold Award, how to complete the proposal and final report paperwork, and when and how to complete a money earning activity request.

The second training will be face to face and will help girls brainstorm ideas for a successful Girl Scout Gold Award project. Girls will learn:
  • How to identify a Girl Scout Gold Award project
  • The difference between a community service project and a Girl Scout Gold Award project
  • How to identify the root cause of an issue in her community and how to build a successful Girl Scout Gold Award project to address that issue
Register for both trainings by visiting ebiz.gsccc.org. The online portion is to be completed before you attend the face-to-face training.
