Highest Awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold
Download Details about the Highest Awards: Bronze, Silver, & Gold
Have girls in your troop completed or are currently working on a Higher Award (Bronze, Silver, or Gold)? If so, submit your response to our Highest Awards Form.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are earned by completing a Take Action project.
Girl Scouts participate in both Take Action and Community Service Projects. What's the difference? They are both beneficial to the community and are an important part of Girl Scouts, just in different ways. Take Action is a very specific model that helps girls achieve leadership skills while they create long term change by addressing the root of a problem. When girls complete Take Action projects, they come up with their own creative ideas and partner with others to make it happen.
Community service projects address an immediate need in the community or fix the symptoms of a problem. This type of service is often completed short-term or one time. Girl Scouts might complete community service by volunteering for a project that someone else planned. Service projects often help people or animals feel more comfortable or get immediate access to important materials (such as food). Some examples of community service: repainting/refurbishing an area at the park, participating in a food drive, collecting/sewing blankets to donate to an organization.
