Bronze Award

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.


You can become a Bronze Award Girl Scout if you:

  • Are in fourth or fifth grade
  • Are a registered Girl Scout Junior
  • Have completed  a Junior Leadership Award

How to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award

  • Build your Girl Scout Junior team

  • Explore your community

  • Decide on a project to work on

  • Make a plan of action

  • Put your plan in motion

  • Spread the word
