I finished my Gold Award summer before junior year, it took me about 4 months to do everything. I would really recommend it. It’s a really great experience, plus there are tons of scholarships just for girls who have received their gold award. As far as colleges go, its a great way to show school that you not only interested in a certain area, but have already lead a program or contributed in that area. I am applying as an international relations major. For my gold award I taught over 250 kids a cultural education class that I had developed. It later was adopted by my school board. Another girl in my troop wants to be a doctor. She created a conference on diabetes for minorities groups. I think colleges recognize the Gold Award and its especially valuable if you can connect it to your “future goal.”
