The Girl Scouts of Connecticut organization, the statewide nonprofit dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence and character, honored 58 of its top achievers at the annual Girl Scout Gold Award Ceremony on June 5.
“The Girl Scout Gold Award is the most prestigious honor in Girl Scouting,” said Diana Mahoney, CEO, Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “To earn it, a Girl Scout identifies an issue in their community, drafts a plan to address a root cause and then leads a team of volunteers to implement it. ”¦Clearly, each of our 58 honorees have demonstrated their commitment to build a better world.”
Also, $1,000 Gold Award Scholarships were presented to several deserving candidates during the ceremony.
“From all corners of our state, our Gold Award Girl Scouts are inspired to address the issues most important to them,” said Mahoney. “What better way to mark Girl Scouts of Connecticut”™s 110th milestone than to spotlight these stellar girls, who represent what Girl Scouts is all about””leading with compassion and making sustainable change in our communities, while becoming the best version of themselves.”
