Highest Awards

Every Girl Scout goes above and beyond to make a difference in their community and the world. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards give Girl Scouts the chance to be recognized for all the work they do to support issues they care about.

We honor the remarkable accomplishments of our Highest Award Girl Scouts annually at our Highest Awards Celebration.

Take action to make a lasting impact in the world with Girl Scouting’s highest award.

Silver Award

Identify an issue, make a plan, and take action to improve your community.

Bronze Award
