Bronze Award

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout, (grades 4th and 5th) can earn. The Girl Scout Bronze Award was created by a troop of Junior Girl Scouts from an individual council and introduced at Girl Scouts of the USA's 2001 National Meeting of Presidents and Executive Directors in Savannah, Georgia.

Project approval is the responsibility of the troop/group advisor. There is no council approval function for the Bronze Award. Assistance  and support  is just a phone call (303-607-4849) or an email away highest.awards@gscolorado.org

• The Bronze is a team or troop award.
• Juliettes can form their own team  who do not have to be Girl Scouts.
• All of the requirements for the Bronze Award must be met before leaving Junior Girl Scouts
• Bronze Award is not a prerequisite for the Girl Scout Silver Award (for Girl Scouts 6th-8th grade) or the Girl Scout Gold Award (for Girl Scouts in 9th-12th grade).

Bronze Award Requirements

The Journey Guidelines for the Bronze Award require the completion of one Junior Journey including the Take Action project. Detailed  project information is provided in the Girl Guidelines and the Adult Guidelines. Individual girls can work toward the award by forming a team of their peers to help with the project. Team members do not have to be Girl Scouts when joining the Bronze Team. The Journey report form is completed at the close of the project and submitted to council. Without  the report, there is no record of completion.

The steps are:

• Go on a Girl Scout Junior journey
• Build your Bronze Award team
• Explore your community
• Choose your Girl Scout Bronze Award project
• Make a plan
• Put your plan in motion
• Spread the word
