BRONZE AWARD

 

Requirements & Reporting

 

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn. It shows that a girl has made a promise to help others, improve her community and world, and become the best she can be.

Requirements

The Bronze Award:

• Using girl/adult partnership, help the girl(s) decide on a Girl Scout Bronze Award service project.
• The girls may do the first three requirements in any order, but they must be completed before they start their project. They may not use one activity to apply to more than one requirement.
• Girls may work as a troop/group on the Girl Scout Bronze Award Project. If girls do decide to do a project together, each girl must be responsible for a part of the project. Each must be able to show exactly what she did and what she accomplished.

Bronze Award Requirements:

 

1. Earn two badges that are related to the project you will do for your Bronze Award.  
2. Complete one of the Girl Scout Signs found in the Junior Girl Scout Handbook. The Signs are based on the four Girl Scout program goals for girls. Girls learn skills to become a successful and capable Junior Girl Scout when they complete a Sign.  
3. Earn the Junior Aide Patch
   OR the Junior Girl Scout Leadership Award
   OR two of these badges:
   • Girl Scouting in the USA
   • Girl Scouting Around the World
   • Girl Scouting in My Future
   • Lead On  
4. Do a Girl Scout Bronze Award project. This project shows the leadership skills girls have learned as a Junior Girl Scout, and their commitment to their community and themselves. To earn this award, they will do a project that shows that they understand and live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law.  
   The project should:  
   • Take approximately 15 hours to complete (this includes planning time). Doing the project should take at least seven to eight hours.
   • Provide community service, but can be done in or outside of Girl Scouting.
   • Follow the Action Plan in the "Adventures of Girl Scouting" chapter of the new Junior Girl Scout Handbook (2001). This should be a new service project that the troop/group decided to do to earn this award. It should not be something they have already done.
   • Follow safety rules using SafetyWise as a guide.

Leaders should encourage girls to keep records as they work on the Bronze Award. Because this is a learning tool that will hopefully inspire them to seek the Silver and go for the Gold, it is a good idea to start practicing now.

Once the girls have completed everything, the leader can purchase Bronze Award pins for the girls. Fill out the Bronze Award Report Form and bring it to Juliette’s Treasures to purchase pins.

Don’t forget to plan an appropriate celebration to honor the girls and their accomplishments.
