You can pass variables into Awk using -v (and note that they are printed without the leading $)
Code:
$ GroupID="This Group"
$ awk -v GID="$GroupID " '{print GID $0}'  names.dat

addgroup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       addgroup(8)

NAME
addgroup - Adds a new group interactively SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/addgroup DESCRIPTION
Security Note If you have enhanced security installed on your system, you should use the dxaccounts program to add a group. See Security and the dxac- counts(8) reference page for more information. The addgroup command is an interactive program for adding new groups to the /etc/group file. The program prompts you for specific informa- tion and informs you of its activity and error conditions. Only the superuser can execute this command. The program performs the following tasks: Queries for a new group name. The default can be chosen by pressing the Return key, which will cause the program to exit without adding a new group. Enter the new group name, 8 characters or less, or Return to exit. If the new group entered already exists in the /etc/group file, the program informs you of this and cycles back to the query for a new group name. If the new group entered does not already exist, the program continues. Queries for a group number (GID) for the new group. A default GID, which is based on previously existing GID's in the /etc/group file, is displayed and can be selected by pressing the Return key. Enter a new GID or accept the default. If the new GID entered already exists in the /etc/group file, the program informs you of this and cycles back to the query for a new group number (GID). If the new GID entered does not already exist in the /etc/group file, the program uses this GID and adds the new group to the /etc/group file. At this point, the program ends. This interface has been superseded by the groupadd command-line interface, and the Account Manager (dxaccounts) graphical user interface. RESTRICTIONS
The group name is limited to eight characters. EXAMPLES
Enter a new group name or <Return> to exit: newgroup Enter a new group number [112]: FILES
Specifies the command path. Group file Lock file SEE ALSO
Commands: adduser(8), dxaccounts(8), groupadd(8), removeuser(8) Files: group(4) addgroup(8)
