Award Spotlight
In 1980, Girls
Scouts introduced the Girl Scout Gold Award (for Girl Scouts 14-18) as its
highest honor, along with the Girl Scout Silver Award (for Girl Scouts 11-14).
To receive these awards, girls must meet requirements that help them prepare
for, and complete, a special project benefiting their communities. Based on
requests from Junior Girl Scouts (ages 8-11), the Girl Scout Bronze Award was
introduced in 2001. Today these three awards are a highlight of the Girl Scout
experience.

The Girl Scout Gold Award®, the highest award in Girl Scouts, focuses on a 14- to
18-year-old Girl Scout's interests and personal journey through
leadership skills, career explorations, self-improvement, and service.
The Girl Scout Gold Award was updated in 2004. |
