Through Highest Awards, Girl Scouts go above and beyond to make a difference in their community and the greater world. The skills and experiences girls gain along the way set them up for special recognition through the Gold (grades 9-12), Silver (grades 6-8), and Bronze Awards (grades 4-5). All three awards give girls the chance to do big things while supporting issues they care about. Is your troop ready to change their corner of the world through one of these awesome awards?
