Kappa Delta Sorority

For more than 20 years, the Kappa Delta Foundation has supported the bright futures and college dreams of Girl Scouts across the country by providing $50,000 in scholarships annually in recognition of 10 National Gold Award Girl Scouts. The Gold Award is earned by just 5% of Girl Scouts—and National Gold Award Girl Scouts further set themselves apart, having achieved the highest honor in Girl Scouting. Honorees are selected among 200 applicants for their dedicated efforts to bettering their communities and driving change in the world by creating and facilitating powerful “Take Action” projects. Each year, a representative from the Kappa Delta Foundation serves on an external committee to review and select Gold Award recipients who receive this national recognition.

The Kappa Delta Foundation is the charitable arm of the Kappa Delta Sorority, an organization that has been a vital partner of Girl Scouts of the USA since 1998. Kappa Delta Sorority members serve as volunteers, guiding and mentoring Girl Scouts across the country on their leadership journeys and reinforcing the importance of integrity and friendship. In addition to providing critical volunteer support for GSUSA, Kappa Delta chapters host confidence-building and anti-bullying events, International Girls Day celebrations, and other empowering activities for girls. Girl Scouts who take part in Kappa Delta-sponsored events are eligible to earn a special Kappa Delta participation patch.
