GSWCF Bronze Award Final Report

GSWCF Bronze Award Final Report

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! Learn more about the Bronze Award on our council site.
To qualify for the Bronze Award, Girl Scout Juniors should:
- Be a registered member of GSWCF
- Be in 4th or 5th grade, or submit by September 30th when they begin 6th grade.
- Complete one of the required prerequisites, and training videos prior to starting the Bronze Award
- Build a team! (Up to 12 Girl Scout Juniors can work together on this project, but be sure to also include community members as well)
- Investigate the community for issues
- Find the root cause of the issue
- Create a plan to tackle the root cause
- Ensure the project will be sustained after their involvement
- Each Girl Scout working on the project should have 20 individual hours
- Allow each girl to have a leadership role in the project
- Share what you have accomplished with others
The following are NOT ALLOWED as Bronze Award projects:
- Projects that focus solely on collecting, beautifying, decorating, redecorating, rebuilding, donating, and/or cleaning. The are considered service projects. These aspects can be part of a larger project, but cannot be the only part of the project.
- Projects that focus solely on implementing an already existing solution (i.e. Little Libraries, Buddy Benches, Badge Workshops) are not Highest Award projects. These aspects can be part of a larger, unique solution, but cannot be the only part of the project.
- Projects that raise money for another organization. Per GSUSA policy, Girl Scouts may not raise money for another organization and any money raised for the purpose of funding your project may not be directly donated to another organization. Girl Scouts CAN raise money to purchase supplies or in kind donations for another organization.
- Projects planned and organized by adults that Girl Scouts only implement. Remember: adults should guide Girl Scouts through the process and ensure they meet guidelines, but should allow the project to be girl-led
