What is the Bronze Award?
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest national award a Girl Scout Junior, grades 4-5, may earn.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is a group earned award and requires each girl to complete a minimum of 20 hours on a Bronze Award Take Action Project.

Girls focus on something they care about that they would like to improve within their Girl Scout or local community.

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is approved by the Troop/Group leader.
