Seniors (Ages 14-17 years and Grades 9-12)
Seniors Gold Award
Goals: Senior scouts will work closely with the Animal Center’s outreach director to earn their Gold Award. If the scout has not visited the Animal Center before, parents are encouraged to schedule a visit and tour of the Animal Center. Scouts will be introduced to animal sheltering, the Animal Center’s role in the community, and the importance of spay and neuter. The outreach director can brainstorm with the scout to identify projects for their award. Gold Award projects must be done outside of the Animal Center facility and must follow the Girl Scout Gold Award guidelines.
Program Objectives:
- Understand the important role of the Animal Center in our community
- Identify a project that would benefit the homeless animals in our area
- Demonstrate leadership skills through a self-paced project
