Girl Scouts Change the World!
Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Girl Scouts are change-makers.
They have changed the world, changed their lives, and have earned the most prestigious awards in Girl Scouting.
To earn Girl Scouts’ Highest Awards, Girl Scouts identify an issue in their community, draft a plan to address the root cause, assemble a team of volunteers, and take action. When the project is complete, the 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 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 a Girl Scout Highest Award on a high school transcript or resumé can make a Girl Scout stand out among college admissions, scholarship applications, internships, military enrollment, and job interviews.
