A Gold Award project should:

   1. Make a difference in their community OR fulfill a need in the community.

   2. Be a challenge for personal growth.

   3. Be a catalyst for or facilitate a change.

   4. Enlist others to help or work through organizations.

   5. Be successful because of the Scout’s vision and leadership skills.

   6. Require the Scout’s planning and decision making.

   7. Demonstrate the Scout’s creativity, capabilities and leadership by taking action on issues she feels passionate about.

   8. Should have a plan on how to maintain the project if it is on-going OR should have a lasting impact beyond a 1 day or 1 time event.

 If the Gold Award Project is:

    1. An event – it should be something others would want to continue.

    2. A service – it should create change or action with long term possibilities empowering others besides just the Scout.

   3. Tangible – it should come with a plan for use and maintenance.
