Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons proudly recognizes 12 local Girl Scouts who are part of the 2025 Girl Scout Gold Award class who earned the highest award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award. Gold Award Girl Scouts make positive impacts on our local communities by addressing some of the most pressing issues. We congratulate Mallory Domine of Oakes, ND, for earning her Gold Award.
Gold Award Girl Scouts become innovative problem-solvers, empathetic leaders, confident public speakers, and focused project managers. They learn resourcefulness, tenacity, and decision-making skills, giving them an edge personally and professionally. As they take action to transform their communities, Gold Award Girl Scouts gain tangible skills and prove they’re the leaders our world needs. The 2025 Gold Award Girl Scout class identified issues in their communities, took action, and found or created solutions to earn their Gold Awards, addressing real-life problems such as environmental sustainability, mental and physical well-being, and gender inequality in STEM.
Mallory earned her Gold Award with her Landscaping for Community Park Project. Over 19 months, Mallory designed and installed landscaping for a new city park. She worked with local community groups to get this completed. From picking the flowers and materials to planting and installing, Mallory spent nearly 120 hours beautifying this new common space.
Her accomplishments reflect leadership, citizenship, and foundational skills built through Girl Scouts. “Through Girl Scouts, I have been given so many opportunities to serve others, and it makes me feel good to know fellow community members genuinely appreciate the work I have done,” Mallory said.
Mallory is a senior at Oakes High School with plans to attend North Dakota State University in the fall. She will receive her award at the council’s Honoring Excellence recognition event to be held on June 8, 2025.
