Bronze Award

Make your community a better place.

It all starts here. Juniors team up with fellow Girl Scouts to explore their community, discover a need or issue they care about, and work together to address it. It’s a chance to create a plan and make an impact on the community they live in.

You can become a Bronze Award Girl Scout if you:

  • Are in fourth or fifth grade
  • Are a registered Girl Scout Junior
  • Have completed  a Junior Leadership Award

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts is committed to supporting all Girl Scouts who are interested in earning their Highest Awards. If there are any accessibility factors, accommodations, or supports that we can provide, please let us know.


How to Earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award

Hey, grownups!

When you support Girl Scouts earning their Bronze Awards, you’ll help them see their own power and be by their side as they make a lasting change in their community. Use this guide (available in English and Español) to get started today. 

  • Learn more through a gsLearn training or a virtual info session. 
  • Identify issues that you’re passionate about.
  • Explore your community and think of how that issue affects your community.
  • Choose your Bronze Award project based on your passions and community needs.
  • Make a plan and submit your project proposal.
  • Put your plan in motion.
  • Spread the word and submit your final report before September 30 after completing fifth grade.
