Bronze Award Girl Scouts

Bronze Awards are given to fourth and fifth grade Girl Scouts (Juniors) that work as a troop to complete a community Take Action project. When Girl Scout Juniors team up, they learn important leadership skills, discover new passions, and watch how seemingly small actions make a big difference. It all adds up to the Girl Scout Bronze Award—the highest honor a Junior can achieve.

You can become a Bronze Award Girl Scouts if you:

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

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
  • Celebrate

We encourage you to submit information about your project once you have completed it so we can acknowledge your accomplishment. It is not required to submit any paperwork to Girl Scouts of Western Washington to earn your Bronze Award. Once you’ve completed your project and your troop leader signs off, you can buy your Bronze Award pin. If you share your Bronze Award photos and stories with us, you could be featured on our blog, social media channels, or in one of our email newsletters.
