The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award in Girl Scouting.  As a new Board Member of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas I had a treat. I attended the Girl Scout Gold Award Ceremony at the convention center in Mesquite.

The families of the Girl Scouts were so proud and rightfully so.  It takes dedication and focus. To win this award girls must display leadership resulting in 65 hours or more for a service project that leaves a lasting impact on the community. It also provides the girls with personal and spiritual growth, positive values and leadership skills. 

This year 74 Girl Scout Seniors of Northeast Texas earned this honor.  The families are a big part of the Gold Award because the Moms and Dads make the committment to support their daughters in Girl Scouts.     

6.3% of Senior Girl Scouts from Northeast Texas earned the Girl Scout Gold Award and that's 1% above the national average. Yaaaaaaaaaay!

I'm happy to tell you that I started my Girl Scout career as a Brownie and loved my Girl Scout years.  In 1996 I was named a "Lifetime Girl Scout"; an award of which I'm very proud.

I'm also extremely proud of today's Girl Scout Gold Award winners because they're Tomorrow's Leaders.
