Highest Awards
You’ve got what it takes to make a lasting impact
Get started by earning a highest award in Girl Scouting
You're ready to make the world a better place. Show everyone how you’ll do it by earning the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards. Each award will challenge you and helps you take action in a big way.
Final reports are due each year on February 1 for spring recognition at Honoring Excellence.
The Highest Awards are leadership awards for Take Action projects that address the root cause of a community issue with a sustainable and measurable solution. Do you know the difference between a community service project and a Take Action project?
Girl Scout Highest Awards must include a Take Action project that addresses the root cause of a community issue while actively working with the community for a sustainable and measurable solution. Community service projects are important as they address an immediate need in the community, however, they only help for a short period. A Take Action project is lasting and creates long-term change.
Take Action projects have up to five elements. The Gold Award requires all five; the Girl Scout Silver Award requires three; and the Girl Scout Bronze Award requires two. This way, Girl Scouts learn something new and have opportunities to be challenged in different ways as they earn each award.
Let's Celebrate
When Girl Scouts earn their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award, they'll be invited to celebrate at Honoring Excellence.
