  • Gold Award Orientation Quiz

  • Method of Orientation*

  • This Gold Award Orientation quiz contains three sections:

    • module quizzes,
    • a final summary quiz, and a
    • Gold Award Resources Scavenger Hunt.

    You must receive 100% on all sections to pass the quiz and move on to choosing a Gold Award Mentor.

    We encourage you to take this quiz at the same time as you are watching the modules and to complete both the training and the quiz alongside a supporting adult, so they are aware of the Gold Award requirements and expectations as well.

    Good luck!

    It is essential that you are accessing GSSJC's Gold Award resources, not those from GSUSA or another council. Each council has it's own process for managing the Gold Award program.

    Be sure when searching for these resources that you verify that you are going to a GSSJC site!

  • GSSJC's Gold Award Webpage

    It's recommended that you save or bookmark these links as you go!

Most Gold Award projects do not require additional funding. Approval for additional funding opportunities is required via the forms below.

    These additional funding options are:

    • Additional Money-Earning Activities https://www.gssjc.org/content/dam/gssjc-redesign/documents/forms/finance/F-32%20Money%20Earning%20Activity%20Guidelines%20and%20Application.pdf

  • True or false? Girls cannot earn their Gold Award at all if they have not participated in the last two product sales.
  • True or false? The F-32 Money-earning Activities form must be submitted for approval to your Girl Scout Community Leadership Team while the F-30 Contribution/Solicitation Request form must be submitted to the Highest Awards Manager at goldaward@sjgs.org.
