Gold Award Girl Scouts don't just change the world for the better, they change it for good.

A Gold Award Girl Scout commits to a cause beyond herself, leading the charge to tackle significant issues in her community. Along the way, she becomes a proven leader who is primed to create ongoing change.
"The Gold Award is the mark of the truly remarkable," said Barry Horowitz, Chief Revenue Officer, Girl Scouts of the USA. "By creating sustainable solutions to our word's most pressing challenges, Gold Award Girl Scouts lead in their communities, campuses and beyond. We are excited to collaborate with Balfour to help girls celebrate this incredible, world-changing accomplishment."
The Girl Scout Gold Award jewelry collection was designed with unique personalization options, giving each girl the ability to customize her pieces based on fashion preference and personality.
"Our product innovation team did an excellent job designing pieces that truly embody the heart of what earning the Gold Award means," said Melissa Gosling, Balfour's Senior Director of Marketing and Gold Award Girl Scout. "Whether she chooses a ring featuring Zirconia by Swarovski or the classic emblem necklace piece, a Gold Award Girl Scout can wear this keepsake knowing it's a timeless reminder of her lifetime accomplishment."
With select pieces starting at $99.00, the entire collection is available in up to 18K white and yellow gold at Balfour.com. Recent Gold Award Girl Scouts can purchase rings and necklaces now, with the bracelet option available for purchase in the coming weeks. Jewelry for Gold Award Girl Scout alums will also be added as the collection expands.
