Girl Scouts who pursue the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award lead sustainable, large-scale projects that make a lasting impact in the community. Earning higher awards gives you hands-on leadership and project management experience, and can help you stand out on job applications, resumes, and college applications.
Bronze Award – Available to Girl Scout Juniors
It all starts here. Juniors team up with fellow Girl Scouts to explore their community, discover a need or issue they care about, and work together to address it. It’s a chance to create a plan and make an impact on the community they live in.
Silver Award – Available to Girl Scout Cadettes
Ready to help your community and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting? Cadettes can team up with a small group of fellow Girl Scouts or work on their own. To earn the Silver Award, you will research an issue you care about, make a plan to address it, and then take action to improve your community.
Gold Award – Available to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors
Gold Award Girl Scouts are rock stars, role models, and real-life heroes. How do they do it? By using everything they’ve learned as a Girl Scout to solve a problem in their community or make a lasting change in their world. Seniors and Ambassadors who want to go for the Gold Award build a team of trusted adults, peers, and leaders in their community to guide them through challenges and support their success. As a bonus, the Gold Award opens doors to a variety of scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college, strong networking and amazing career opportunities, and much more.
In addition, there are many other awards and scholarships that are only available to Girl Scouts!
