Once you have wrapped up your project, you are strongly encouraged to educate and inspire others by sharing your Gold Award journey. You’ve worked hard on your project, and this is a great opportunity to showcase your impact and motivate other Girl Scouts to go Gold. Participating in a presentation can also help you build confidence and practice public speaking skills in a supportive environment.
What your presentation can be
An opportunity to share your Gold Award experience, including:
- The impact of your project
- What the Gold Award is
- What you learned through the process
Ways you may choose to present
You can share your project in a format that works best for you, such as:
- A front-of-the-room presentation
- An exhibit-style presentation
- A virtual presentation
- A recorded video shared with troop leaders
Suggested presentation guidelines
If you choose to do a presentation:
- The audience should include Girl Scouts and may be a troop of any size or a Girl Scout event with at least 5 Girl Scouts present.
