Bronze, Silver &
Gold Awards
Girl Scouts Highest Awards provide Girl Scouts the
opportunity to become more involved in local community
issues and learn skills to become proactive leaders.
These awards incorporate engagement in either troop or individual
projects that benefit Girl Scouts and their communities, expose Girl
Scouts to important societal issues, and help them develop problem
solving and critical thinking skills.
There are three different levels of Girl
Scout awards:
• Bronze Award Take Action Project
• Silver Award Take Action Project
• Gold Award Take Action Project
The projects Girl Scouts undertake for these
awards range in topic and scope. While
some girls might be interested in tackling an
environmental issue, others might seek a
project focused on improving education or
supporting the well-being of animals.
Girl Scouts of Citrus staff are here to help girls
in the process of understanding and completing
their awards projects. In particular, we are here
to assist with the following:
• Address any questions Girl Scout members may
have about the awards process.
• Support girls in developing ideas for their
projects and provide feedback on their proposals.
• Connect girls to local community partners who
may be able to help mentor them or sponsor their
projects.
Bronze Award Silver Award
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is open to
Girl Scout Juniors who have completed a
Junior-level Journey. Girls are expected to
spend at least 20 hours each working on this
project. Girls must select an issue they want
to tackle within their community and submit
a proposal once they have completed their
Junior-level Journey. The Silver Award is open to Cadette Girl Scouts who
have completed a Cadette-level Journey. They may
either complete the project as a small group (no more
than 3) or individually.
The girls must investigate an issue within their
community and then put a sustainable solution into
action to address the issue.
Girls must complete a required training and submit
a proposal before they start their project. Cadettes
must focus entirely on benefiting their community and
spend a minimum of 50 hours on their project.
