Girl Scouts who identify as having disability/ “special need,” including those who may not have a formal diagnosis.
When a Girl Scout indicates they need accommodations, the Council staff will contact the family to get clarity on the types of accommodations needed. We will decide on reasonable accommodations. The Council then communicates directly with the Gold Award Panel about the accommodations and ensures the Panel feels capable of fulfilling them.
Our aim is to treat every Girl Scout with the attention and respect they deserve as a Gold Award Earning Girl Scout.
