Ambassador

Ambassadors are nearly adults, and they have complete responsibility for their program.  They make all of their own and their group's decisions, create budgets and earn the money to finance activities, set goals for money-earning, allocate tasks and delegate as leaders.

Ambassadors work on Interest Projects, which are more complex than recognitions at younger levels of Girl Scouts.  IPs (Interest Projects) involve learning about a topic or a concept, and then taking steps to improve the world by using it through education or service.

Ambassadors have comprehensive, cross-functional leadership training and may work as Program Aides, as Counselors-in-Training at camp and as Leaders-in-Training in troops. Many earn the Leadership Award and the Career Award. Girl Scout Ambassadors may earn the Gold Award, the highest achievement in all of Girl Scouting.

Girls are eligible to be an Ambassador when they are in 11th and 12th grade.
