Can you protest for your Girl Scout Gold Award?

If you are thinking about staging a protest as your Girl Scout Award project, it probably would not be allowed. It would not fit within the guidelines of a Gold Award project.

However, you could set up your project to be about changing something that you think needs to be changed. You have to be able to set a goal and show how you reached that goal. The project also has to be sustainable, something that will continue. Rather than protesting, you should be prepared to present your idea to those who can help make the change.

If you are asking about protesting a Gold Award project that has been rejected by the Gold Award Committee in your council, this is part of the process of getting a Gold Award approved. Read through why the committee rejected the project and see if you can make changes in your project to fit the guidelines better. Then go back to the Gold Award committee or adviser and share your changes with them. Be prepared to make more changes and to ask them for suggestions about things you could change.
