Bronze Award | Girl Scouts

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.

Congratulations to GSOSW's 2026 Bronze Award Girl Scouts!

You can become a Bronze Award Girl Scout if you:

Are in fourth or fifth grade
Are a registered Girl Scout Junior
