Guidelines to Using AI in Highest Award Projects
The use of generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Dall-e, etc.) in any
aspect of a Highest Award (Bronze, Silver, Gold) project is
expressly forbidden and considered a direct violation of the
Girl Scout Promise and Law.
- Brainstorming a project
- Writing sentences,
paragraphs, or any material included in a project proposal or final
report
- Creation of content for a Highest Award project
Writing, analytical, and critical thinking skills are part of the
learning outcomes for all Highest Award projects. As such, all work,
with a particular emphasis on project proposals and final reports,
should be the work of the Girl Scout only.
Girl Scouts found to have used AI for any portion of their Highest
Award project will be immediately ineligible to earn the Highest Award
they were pursuing when the violation was made.
Any future pursuits of a different Highest Award
level by a Girl Scout found in violation of these guidelines must be
reviewed by the Highest Awards Committee (HAC) and staff specialist,
with no guarantee of approval to move forward.
