Highest Awards | Girl Scouts

You've got what it takes to make a lasting impact.

Get started by earning the highest awards!

You're ready to make the world a better place. Show everyone how you'll do it by earning the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards!

The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards are the highest honors you can earn in Girl Scouts. All three awards enable you to make a significant impact while addressing an issue you care about. Once you've completed your project, you'll have made a bold, sustainable impact on the world and put in some serious work.

It's now easier than ever for Junior through Ambassador Girl Scouts to kick off their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award. Already earned your Bronze or Silver? Great—each now counts as a prerequisite for the next! You can also complete one of the new Leadership Awards to build real-world skills and lead in the way that feels right for you.

If you've already started a Journey, keep going—you now only need to complete one (not two for the Gold Award!), and it will still count even after Journeys retire in October 2026.
