Bronze Award | Girl Scouts

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

Girls have until September 30 of the year they bridge to Cadettes to complete their Bronze Award project and submit final reports.

Adult volunteers will be notified once the council has reviewed and approved the Final Report. Upon approval, Bronze Award pins may be purchased at any Spirit of Nebraska a Girl Scout Shop or online.
