Gold Award Alliance

Girl Scouts of Frontier Council's Gold Award Alliance is a council operational mentoring committee comprised of adult members of Girl Scouting, community members, and young women who have an interest in or have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. The committee exists to support girls ages 14-18 in their journey to earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting.
