Highest Awards prove you've got what it takes to build a better today- and tomorrow. You shine brightest when you're making the world a better place. That's why you can earn three separate awards- the Girl Scout Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards- as you dream of a better tomorrow and take action in big ways today.

Find our Highest Award guides and resources at bit.ly/3WW6SjJ.

Highest Awards FAQ & Brainstorming Session

Trying to figure out if your idea fits into a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver or Gold Award project? Need some ideas? What if you hit a roadblock? What is sustainability or root cause? What's the difference between a service project and a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver or Gold Award project? These questions and other questions you may have will be answered during this lively forum. Join us for an open brainstorming and FAQ session about the Highest Awards. Girls in all stages of their Highest Awards are encouraged to bring their ideas and an open mind to this free session.
