Bronze Award
​
Make your community a better place
It all starts here. Fourth or Fifth Grade Junior Level Girl Scouts team up 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
You have the power to improve your community through action.
Ready to help your community and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting? Middle School Girl Scouts Cadette Level 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
Change the world, Girl Scout.
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. High School Girl Scouts that are either the Senior or Ambassador Level 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.
Plus? Nothing beats that feeling of seeing real, lasting, and sustainable change and knowing it was you who made it happen. It changes the way you see your place in the world—and how the world sees you.
