The winner will have their art created into a mural in the DC Girl Scout Office and top winner's art will be displayed at different Council events throughout the year.
Are you working toward your Gold Award? Have you already earned your Gold Award? If so, we'd love to have you join us for one of our
Dine-Arounds this season. Check out how fellow Girl Scouts have earned their Gold Award here!
What's a Dine-Around? Dine-Arounds are informal dinners, brunches, teas or other events that are hosted by Women's Advisory Board members at their homes or businesses. They are a unique chance to gain insight from successful women and will prove to be an amazing networking session. Please note there is no cost to attend a Dine-Around.
