The Girl Scout Bronze Award

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is a leadership adventure and the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. As Girl Scouts and their teams plan and complete their projects, they'll develop confidence, meet new people, and have the kind of fun that happens when you work with other Girl Scouts to make a difference.

Earning the Girl Scout Bronze Award involves completing a Girl Scout Journey and dedicating a minimum of 20 hours towards a Take Action project that addresses a community need. These hours can be spent building the Bronze Award team, exploring the community, choosing the project, planning it, putting the plan in motion, and spreading the word about the project.
