Bronze Award Girl Scouts

When Girl Scout Juniors team up to make a difference in their community, they learn important leadership skills, discover new passions, and watch how seemingly small actions make a big difference. It all adds up to the Girl Scout Bronze Award—the highest honor a Junior can achieve. Download the Bronze Award guidelines to find out how.

Upon completion of your Bronze Award Project, your troop leader (or parent for individually registered Girl Scouts), with your help, must fill out the Girl Scout Bronze Award Final Report and submit it to bronzeaward@gscwm.org. Upon receiving the Bronze Award Troop/Group Final Report, GSCWM will send a congratulatory e-mail to the address provided. This e-mail will give your leader or parent instructions on how to purchase Bronze Award pins. Pins are not available to purchase without a letter from GSCWM. E-mails will be sent within 2-3 weeks of submitting the Girl Scout Bronze Award Troop/Group Final Report.
