The Gold Award Committee uses the following project evaluation tool to appprove projects in addition to the information in the "Go For It".
A Gold Award project should:
- Make a difference in their community OR fulfill a need in the community.
- Be a challenge for personal growth.
- Be a catalyst for or facilitate a change.
- Enlist others to help or work through organizations.
- Be successful because of the Scout’s vision and leadership skills.
- Require the Scout’s planning and decision making.
- Demonstrate the Scout’s creativity, capabilities and leadership by taking action on issues she feels passionate about.
- 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:
- An event – it should be something others would want to continue.
- A service – it should create change or action with long term possibilities empowering others besides just the Scout.
- Tangible – it should come with a plan for use and maintenance.
The Gold Award Committee evaluates each Gold Award application individually and considers the size, scope and cost.
