Girl Scout Gold Award Project: Helping Veterans Experiencing Homelessness

Submitted by Katelyn M. Metro Denver Aurora I had always wanted to complete the Gold Award. Not just because it is the highest honor a Girl Scout can receive, but also due to the idea that I could make an impact in my community just by using my ambition and brain. Even though this dream was always present, it was really difficult to find a topic that was important to me and that I could tackle in the year and a half I had left as a Girl Scout Ambassador. Then, one day as I wa
