Is that Take Action project award-winning?


Every day, Girl Scouts in western Pennsylvania are making the world a better place through meaningful Take Action projects. Now, these girls have a chance to be honored for their hard work by applying for the 2021 Prudential Spirit of Community Award.

Girls Scouts in grades 5-12 can apply online at spirit.prudential.com. Application Certifications should be emailed to GSWPA by Nov. 10, 2020, to customercare@gswpa.org. Be sure to use Prudential Award in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed and one or more Girl Scouts will be selected to represent our council in the state-level judging by Nov. 20, 2020.

Top state-level honorees will receive special recognition from Prudential; the top high school and middle school volunteers will receive silver medallions, $1,000 awards, and an all-expense-paid trip to the nation's capital for several days of national recognition events. State-level winners will be announced Feb. 9, 2021. The top 10 youth volunteers for 2021 will be announced at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in May 2021. National Honorees will receive an additional $5,000, engraved Gold medallions, trophies for their school or organization, and a $5,000 grant from The Prudential Foundation for a charitable nonprofit organization of his or her choice.
