Girl & Teen Awards

Through our unique Leadership Development Program, the words of the Girl Scout Mission come to life:

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.

Leadership development is the core of the Movement and is the thread that is woven through everything a girl experiences in Girl Scouts. The Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the epitome of this leadership and set age appropriate standards for the highest achievements at various levels.

Bronze Award - the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout, ages 9-11, can earn
Silver Award - the highest earned award for Girl Scouts ages 12-14 and the second highest in Girl Scouting
Gold Award - the highest honor a girl can achieve in Girl Scouting

In Girl Scouting, Discover+Connect+Take Action=Leadership

Discover: Girls understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world.
Connect: Girls care about, inspire and team with others locally and globally.
Take Action: Girls act to make the world a better place.

All Girl Scout experiences, particularly the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards, are purposefully designed to follow these three steps. To meet these goals, girls must act intentionally to determine the what, where, when how and why of their project. They lead the planning and decision making, with guidance from their troop advisor. Regional staff advisors are available to help with this process.
