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

  • Final Report: PDF version | Online submission version
  • Ways to Celebrate
    • Locally: Troops or service units may hold local pinning ceremonies. Girls and their families are encouraged to invite mentors, volunteers, community partners, local dignitaries, and many others to celebrate in the successful completion of their project and the ways in which it helped a community. This can happen any time after the Girl Scout successfully completes her Bronze Award.
    • To buy Bronze Award memorabilia, visit our shop. The bronze pin is purchased for the girl by the girl’s troop. If the girl is a Juliette, her parent/guardian may purchase the pin. You may purchase other Bronze Award mementos from the shop.
