Girl Scout Promise

Girl Scout Law
On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Girls meet new people and have the kind of fun that happens when you harness the power of teamwork. The Girl Scout Bronze Award—the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve— is a national award with national standards that represents the dedication girls contribute to making the world a better place.

Gold Award Girl Scouts Change the World
Gold Award Girl Scouts are change-makers. They have changed the world, changed their lives and earned the most prestigious award in Girl Scouting.
To earn the Gold Award, a Girl Scout identifies an issue in their community, drafts a plan to address a root cause and leads a team of volunteers to implement it. When the project is complete, the Gold Award Girl Scout and their team have made a sustainable impact on the world that continues to last beyond their involvement.
It’s a huge accomplishment that also impacts the Gold Award Girl Scout as a person. How they see the world—and how the world sees them—is forever changed. It’s also a credential that will be with them for the rest of their life; having the Girl Scout Gold Award on a high school transcript or resumé can make a Girl Scout stand out when it comes to college admissions, scholarship applications, internships and job interviews.
The Trifecta Award honors girls who have earned all three of Girl Scouting’s highest awards – the Girl Scout Bronze Award, Silver Award and Gold Award!
