Bronze Award

Make your community a better place

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.


You can become a Bronze Award Girl Scout if you:

  • Are in fourth or fifth grade
  • Are a registered Girl Scout Junior
  • Have completed  a Junior Leadership Award

How to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award

  • Attend a REQUIRED GSCSA Bronze Award Training. (Looking for a Bronze Award Training? Reach out to set one up! Email us at Info@GirlScoutCSA.org.)
  • Please know as you begin to plan, projects which focus on building blessing boxes, library boxes, or similar infrastructure will no longer be considered for approval. These types of infrastructure projects can be a part of a larger project, but by themselves do not meet the Highest Awards criteria for uniqueness or, ultimately, sustainability. 
  • Build your Girl Scout Junior team.
  • Explore your community.
  • Decide on a project to work on.
  • Make a plan of action.
  • Put your plan in motion.
  • Spread the word.
