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).
