GSSI Recognizes 18 Girls with the Girl Scout Gold Award at All That Glitters

Girl Scouts were shining stars during Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois’ (GSSI) All That Glitters Award ceremony on March 28, 2015 at Rend Lake Resort in Whittington, Illinois.   Each year, the banquet recognizes Girl Scouts from across southern Illinois who achieve significant accomplishments in community service and leadership.  This year, GSSI recognized 18 girls who earned the Girl Scout Gold Award ... the highest award in Girl Scouting.  Each Girl Scout Gold Award project requires a suggested minimum of 80 hours of work and only about 6 percent of eligible girls earn this prestigious award.
