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 or Junior Journey

How to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award
