The Girl Scout Bronze Award was created by a troop of Girl Scout Juniors from an individual council and introduced at Girl Scouts of the USA's 2001 National Meeting of Presidents and Executive Directors in Savannah, Georgia.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can earn, requires her to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow through on a project that makes a positive impact on her community. Girls may work on the award individually or in a group. All of the requirements for the Bronze Award must be met before leaving Girl Scout Juniors. However, earning a Bronze Award is not a prerequisite for the Girl Scout Silver Award (for Girl Scouts in grades 6-8) or the Girl Scout Gold Award (for Girl Scouts in grades 9-12).
- Working towards this award demonstrates her commitment to helping others, improving her community and the world, and becoming the best she can be.
- Earning the Bronze Award serves as a foundation to earn the Silver and Gold Awards.
- Each girl must complete the Girl Scout Bronze Award Report Form. (Reports accepted year round.)
- Mail paperwork to:
Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland Council, Inc.
Attn: Bronze Award Review
1700 WaterMark Dr.
Columbus, OH 43215
- Council representative will review Bronze Award Report(s) and an award authorization is sent to the troop/group volunteer.
- Girls will receive congratulations letter and certificate in 4-5 weeks after submission of paperwork.
Please be sure to make copies of all paperwork submitted.
