Girl Scouts’ Highest Awards
The Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the highest awards Girl Scouts can achieve in Girl Scouting.  Projects focus on taking action and making the world a better place.  Characteristics of a take action project include: addresses a need, addresses the root cause of the issue, creates a lasting impact that can be measured and includes provisions to ensure sustainability.  The time it takes to earn the awards will depend on the nature of the project, the size of the team, and the support of the community. Quality projects should be emphasized over quantity of hours.  Go beyond blankets and collections.

At a Glance provides an overview of award requirements.

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award a Girl Scout Senior or Girl Scout Ambassador can earn.  You will be joining the ranks of generations of young women who have made a difference in their communities both locally and globally.
