After Girl Scouts have officially earned their Gold Award with GSNorCal, they will receive an email congratulating them and detailing the commendations they will receive.
An official Gold Award pin may be obtained at no cost to the Girl Scout by visiting one of our GSNorCal retail locations or using the retail order form. If you are going in person, please contact the shop you are intending to visit to ensure they have pins available before going to pick one up. You must bring proof of Gold Award completion to show retail staff before they are able to give you a pin, so please have a copy of your official congratulations email from GSNorCal available. Other Gold Award memorabilia may be available for purchase.
Awards staff will mail Gold Award certificates signed by our CEO to each award recipient. Certificates are mailed in batches, not after each individual award completion, so please allow some time to receive your certificate.
You can also request a Gold Award digital credential via our national organization, Girl Scouts of the USA. Please find their request form, here.
