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.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve. As you and your team plan and complete your Take Action project, you’ll develop more confidence, meet new people, and have the kind of fun that happens when you work with other Girl Scouts to make a difference.
All of the requirements for the Girl Scout Bronze Award must be completed before bridging to a Girl Scout Cadette (September 30 after completing 5th grade). Ask questions and receive support to earn your Bronze Award via email.
