Community Advocacy
Take Action & Global Action Awards
These awards empower Girl Scouts to grow as thoughtful leaders and changemakers by addressing important issues both locally and globally.
The Take Action Award encourages girls to identify a community challenge, explore its root causes, and create a project that makes a lasting difference. Whether completed independently or as part of a Journey, this award helps girls develop critical thinking, leadership skills, and the confidence to collaborate for meaningful impact. It serves as an essential foundation for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards.
The Global Action Award expands this leadership by connecting girls to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through learning about global challenges like climate change, gender equality, and education access, Girl Scouts see how local actions contribute to worldwide solutions. Whether working solo or with their troop, girls build empathy, awareness, and the power to create change on a global scale.
Together, these awards guide Girl Scouts in stepping confidently into their roles as leaders who create real, positive change in their communities and beyond.
