Girl Scout Bronze Award

Highest Award for Junior Girl Scouts

"The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn. It shows you have made a promise to help others, improve your community and world, and become the best you can be.
The first three requirements of the award help you build skills and will prepare you for the fourth requirement, a Girl Scout Bronze Award Project. Work closely with your Girl Scout leader or Girl Scout advisor in completing the requirements."

Girls may work on the award individually or in a group. All requirements for the Bronze Award must be met before leaving Junior Girl Scouts. However, earning a Bronze Award is not a prerequisite for the Girl Scout Silver Award (for Girl Scouts 11-14) or the Girl Scout Gold Award (for Girl Scouts 14-17).  The Bronze Award Planner is available online in pdf format.
 

DID YOU KNOW?
The Girl Scout Bronze Award was created by a troop of Junior Girl Scouts from an individual council and introduced at Girl Scouts of the USA's 2001 National Meeting of Presidents and Executive Directors in Savannah, Georgia.

Completing the Award
Leaders or advisors helping with the Bronze Award will decide if the girls have fulfilled the requirements and chosen an appropriate project. Girls are not required to have projects approved by their Girl Scout council or anyone other than a leader or the person helping with Girl Scout activities. Upon receipt of a written explanation about the project, leaders can purchase the Bronze Award for girls and present it, or girls may participate in a ceremony sponsored by their Service Unit.
