Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida announced its 2026 Gold Award recipients today. The Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting.

Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida serves communities across the region. The organization recognizes girls who complete significant service projects that demonstrate leadership and create lasting change in their communities.

The Gold Award requires recipients to spend at least 80 hours on a sustainable project that addresses a community issue. Girls must earn prerequisite awards and demonstrate leadership skills throughout their Girl Scout career to qualify for this distinction.

The Girl Scouts organization did not immediately release the full list of recipients or details about individual projects. Recipients typically complete their projects during high school years before graduating from the program.
