In 1980, Girls Scouts introduced the Girl Scout Gold Award as its highest honor, along with the Girl Scout Silver Award.
To receive these awards, girls must meet requirements that help them prepare for, and complete, a special project benefiting their communities.
Based on requests from Junior Girl Scouts, the Girl Scout Bronze Award was introduced in 2001.
Today these three awards are a highlight of the Girl Scout experience.

Please note that these are the new requirements that the GSUSA is transitioning to by the end of the year.
If you have already started on the requirements for the award, you may choose to continue with the previous guidelines that can be found here in our Award Archive.
