Girl Scout Highest Awards
In 1980, Girl Scouts introduced the Girl Scout Gold Award® as its highest honor, along with the Girl Scout Silver Award® . The Girl Scout Bronze Award® was introduced in 2001. To receive these awards, girls must meet national requirements that help them prepare for, and complete, a special project benefiting their community. Today, these three awards are a highlight of the Girl Scout experience.
Completing Your Award
- All projects under the old guidelines must be completed by September 30, 2011 (at the end of a two year transition period).
-
Earning the previous award (i.e. Girl Scout Bronze Award before Girl Scout Silver Award; Girl Scout Silver Award before Girl Scout Gold Award) is not a pre-requisite of earning an award. Girls who have completed previous awards may find the skills they developed along the way helpful in earning their next award.
-
You cannot work on two awards at the same time. If you plan to complete an award, you cannot start on the pre-requisites for the next award until the previous award is finished.
