Highest Awards Ceremony

2025

Recognizing Girl Scouts who’ve demonstrated leadership and made a positive, lasting impact in the world.

We Are Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life as they work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.

Bronze Award Troop 08004

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.
