Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards

There are now two pathways girls can follow to earn the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards.  Both pathways of guidelines are viable options until the 2012 membership year, which begins on October 1, 2011. If the majority of work on a project will be done during the 2012 membership year, the new guidelines should be used.

Each of the award pages below describe the prerequisites and requirements for both pathways to enable girls to choose the most appropriate option.

	The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouts, focuses on a Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador's interests and personal journey through leadership skills, career explorations, reflection, and advocacy.
	The Girl Scout Silver Award symbolizes a Girl Scout Cadette's accomplishments in her Girl Scout and local communities as she discovers her strengths and takes action to make the world a better place.
	The Girl Scout Bronze Award symbolizes a Girl Scout Junior's commitment to recognizing her responsibility to her community as she connects with others to make a difference.
