Girl Scouts Highest Awards
For generations, Girl Scouts have been
making a difference in their communities and in their own lives. In
an effort to celebrate their efforts and recognize their
achievements, Girl Scouts of the USA have traditionally honored
girls with awards within their program level. The Golden Eagle of
Merit, the highest award in Girl Scouting from 1916 to 1919, marked
the beginning of this long tradition.
Today, the highest award a girl may earn in Girl Scouting
is the Girl Scout Gold Award. This award was introduced in 1980 for
girls 14 - 17, along with the Silver Award for girls 11 - 14. To
receive these awards, girls must meet requirements that help them
prepare for and complete special projects that benefit their
communities. In 2001, the Girl Scout Bronze award was introduced
for Girl Scout Junior. These three awards represent the
highlight of the Girl Scout experience.
