What Is the GIrl scout Bronze aWard?

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn. It shows you have made a promise to help others, improve your community and world, and become the best you can be.

There are four requirements for this award that you should work on with the help and guidance of your troop leader or advisor. The first three requirements will help you learn new skills and increase your leadership abilities to plan and complete your Bronze Award Project. Work closely with your Girl Scout leader or Girl Scout advisor in completing these requirements.

How to Earn the Award Decide on your Girl Scout Bronze Award service project. Read the requirements for the 1. project to help you decide.

Do the first three requirements in any order, but they must be completed before you 2. start your project. You may not use one activity to apply to more than one requirement.

You can work with other girls on the Girl Scout Bronze Award Project. If you and a 3. group of girls decide to do the project together, each girl must be responsible for a part of the project. Each must be able to show exactly what she did and what she accomplished.

RequirementsEarn two badges that are related to the project you will do for your Bronze Award. 1.

Complete one of the Girl Scout Signs found in the Junior Girl Scout Handbook. The 2. Signs are based on the four Girl Scout program goals for girls. You learn skills to become a successful and capable Junior Girl Scout when you complete a Sign.

Earn the Junior Aide Patch, 3. or the Junior Girl Scout Leadership Award or two of these badges: • Girl Scouting in the USA • Girl Scouting Around the World • Girl Scouting in My Future • Lead On

Do a Girl Scout Bronze Award project. This project shows the leadership skills you 4. have learned as a Junior Girl Scout and your commitment to your community and to yourself. To earn this award, you will do a project that shows that you understand and live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Just a reminder that your leader

or the advisor who is helping you

with your Girl scout Bronze award

is the person who will decide if you

have completed the requirements

and an appropriate Girl scout

Bronze award project. Your leader

is the one who makes the decision

about whether you have earned the

award. You are not required to have

your project approved by your Girl

scout council or anyone other than

your leader or the person helping

you with Girl scout activities. Your

leader can purchase the Girl scout

Bronze award for you and reward

it to you or you may participate in

a ceremony sponsored by your Girl

scout council.

The project should: Take a minimum of 15 hours—including planning time. The actual implementation of the project 1. should take 7 to 8 hours. These are guidelines, not rules.

Provide community service and can be done in or outside Girl Scouting.2.

Follow the Action Plan in the “Adventures of Girl Scouting” chapter of the Junior Girl Scout 3. Handbook. This should be a new service project that you or you and your troop or group have decided to do to earn this award. It should not be something you have already done.

Follow safety rules. Check with your leader or Girl Scout advisor about which safety rules 4. apply to your project.

A fifth grade Junior Girl Scout wanted to do a project at her

grandmother’s nursing home. That fall, she started working with her troop on the Sign of the Rainbow. She got to know some of the other residents in the nursing home when her troop interviewed residents for the Folklore Badge as part of the Sign of the Rainbow.

She chose to complete her Outdoor Creativity and Camera Shots badges in preparation for her award project. She learned about gardening during the summer, and learned to use the family

camera. In the fall of the sixth grade, she started work on her Junior Aide Award. She helped a group of Brownies learn songs to sing at the nursing home for the holidays as part of that award.

She had called the activity leader at the nursing home and arranged to help residents plant a garden in the spring of sixth grade. She found out from the residents what they wanted to plant, helped them plant seeds and seedlings, and came by weekly to help them weed. When the garden was in bloom, she took photos and mounted a display in the nursing home’s cafeteria.

A group of Junior Girl Scouts decided that they should do something to

help improve the meeting center at their camp. As they mapped out their final two years as Junior Girl Scouts, they felt that this would be a great project to end with. Half of the group was working on their Junior Girl Scout Leadership Award, while the other half was working on their Junior Aide Award. The troop was also split into groups to complete their sign awards. Together the group worked on the Ms. Fix It Badge to learn some needed skills, and they divided into interest groups on the Books and Communications badges.

sample Projects

You have made a promise to help others, improve your community and world, and become the best you can be.

We have expanded on two of the projects shown in the Junior Girl Scout Handbook to demonstrate the long-range planning that is necessary for your Girl Scout Bronze Award.

The project came together with planning and some great donations from the community recycling project. The troop and their parents worked with the camp caretaker to clean and paint the meeting center one weekend. They then returned to put up posters they had created while working on their badges. Some of the girls had volunteered at the library as part of their sign activity and learned how to repair books, including the well-worn songbooks. Resources were added to a library area, as was an activity box.

Step 1 – LeadershipRead the group and leadership sections in the “Adventures in Girl Scouting” chapter of the Junior Handbook. Look at the Leadership Checklist and circle the leadership qualities you feel you already have. Put a box around three qualities you need to develop. Talk to your Girl Scout leader, a parent or guardian, or other adult about ways you can develop these qualities.

What is leadership?Leadership: to show the way; to guide or cause others to follow you; to direct; to be in charge.

leadership checklistLeaders have:

Creativity•

Ideas about how things might be•

Commitment•

A sense of others•

So they can: Help the group set goals, • make decisions, evaluate progress

Plan•

leadership styleLeadership doesn’t depend on being Ms. Perfect or Ms. Right-All-the-Time. Most people who have leadership experience tell stories about things that have gone wrong when they were leading a group. But they will also tell you what they learned from their mistakes. Part of being a good leader is helping others feel good about their work. That means choosing the right person for the right job and encouraging others when they are doing something new. People always like to feel that what they are doing is important to the group effort. Here are some common leadership styles.

Which one best matches your skills and abilities?director: Gives very good direction and makes sure everyone does her or his job. She will make certain that rules are clear and that everyone is expected to follow them.

coach: Uses a style that provides both direction and supervision but encourages the involvement of everyone! She will explain the work that lies ahead, discuss decisions, and answer questions.

supporter: Works with other members of a group to set goals and list steps to achieve those goals. She encourages everyone to make decisions and gives each member the help they need.

delegator: Gives everyone a share of the work. She lets group members make decisions and take as much responsibility as they can handle. She is there to answer questions, but she wants them to take as much responsibility for their actions as possible.

GIrl scout Bronze aWard faQs

The #1 question asked is…

this is my second year in Juniors. I want to earn the Bronze award. can some of the badge work we completed last year be used toward requirements to earn the Bronze award?

a: The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can earn and demonstrates that she fully understands the goals and values of Girl Scouting. It would not be right to take shortcuts to try to get this award. If you read the requirements for the Girl Scout Bronze Award as they are listed on pages 202–203 of the Junior Girl Scout Handbook, they state that first you must choose a project to do and then you must pick the badges to earn to fulfill the requirements for the Girl Scout Bronze Award. So, for example, if your project was about the environment, you could earn badges on the same topic, such as Eco-Action. If you were building book shelves for your local library, you could earn the Do-it-yourself and Books badges. If you pick your project first, then badges you completed before you selected your project can’t be counted. Also, you didn’t earn those badges in order to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award so you also really can’t count awards twice. When you decide that you would like to make the commitment to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award, then start thinking about and planning your project and as a part of your planning, look for badges and handbook activities that will help you build the skills you need to complete a successful project.

I am trying to earn my Junior Gs Bronze award and my leader is taking charge. What should I do?

a: The decision about whether or not to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award is yours to make. Some girls want to spend the time to complete the requirements; others don’t and would rather spend their “Girl Scout time” doing other activities. Girls shouldn’t be pushed into earning awards or doing activities that they really would rather not do or in which they have little interest. If you have made the choice to do the requirements for the Girl Scout Bronze Award, you also have the main responsibility to plan your project and follow the guidelines on pages 202 and 203 of the Junior Girl Scout Handbook. Your leader acts as a guide and facilitator. She can make suggestions, help you find resources, give you advice and encouragement, and make sure that you follow all the safety rules you need to follow when you are doing Girl Scout activities. Ultimately, though, your project is yours to choose and yours to do. If you look at page 11 in your Junior Girl Scout Handbook, under “Adults in Girl Scouting” you can read about the special role adults have when acting as partners with girls in Girl Scout activities. Perhaps you and your leader can look at this section of your handbook together and use it to talk about your feelings about your Girl Scout Bronze Award project.

our troop just bridged to cadettes this past weekend. can they earn the Bronze award during their first year of cadettes as practice towards their silver award?

a: Sorry, you must be a Junior Girl Scout to earn the Bronze Award. The award, like all age level awards, is not retroactive. There are lots of opportunities to develop skills and teamwork for the Silver Award as a Cadette with interest project and leadership activities.

can we do a project as a troop or group?

a: Yes! Each girl needs to make sure that she contributes her part, and puts in a minimum of 15 hours on the project (including planning time). Individual projects are great too, especially if your interests take you in a different direction from other troop members. (Of course, you can always volunteer to help each other!)

do we need an advisor?

a: Your leader can act as your advisor. You are encouraged to use resource people whose knowledge or careers can make your Bronze Award the best that it can be. If you are an individual member, ask your council to help you find an advisor for the process.

do we need to complete the Girl scout Bronze award before we bridge to cadettes?

a: Yes, it can only be earned by Junior Girl Scouts. You don’t have to complete a Girl Scout Bronze Award as a Junior Girl Scout—it is an option and opportunity there for you.

does that mean we need to complete the Bronze award before we work on the Girl scout silver award?

a: This is kind of a trick question. You can not work on the Girl Scout Silver Award as a Junior Girl Scout. The good news is, you don’t have to have earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award to begin the Girl Scout Silver Award as a Cadette. It is helpful, as some of the processes are the same, and many of the skills you develop for the Girl Scout Bronze Award are a foundation for working on the Girl Scout Silver Award.

We really want to help raise money for our local hospital, because someone in our troop is sick. can we do this?

a: You need to follow national and council guidelines for fund raising. You cannot raise money for another organization according to GSUSA policy. However, you can volunteer for that organization. Instead of marching in a walkathon, what about volunteering to help with registration, first aid, or making sure everyone has water and a snack along the route? It is really important that you clear any fundraising plans with your Girl Scout Council.

The Girl Scout Bronze Award can be found on pages 202-203 of the new Junior Girl Scout Handbook. The information on the Bronze Award has been adapted slightly from the Web and appears here with permission of Girl Scouts of the USA. Additional awards cited can be found in the same book, while badges can be found in the new Junior Girl Scout Badgebook.

however, you can assist a girl by:The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award in Girl Scouting that girls 8–11 can earn. It represents a girl’s commitment to herself and to her community. It takes hours of preparation, planning and work to accomplish the goals a girl has set for herself.

Parents/guardians play a significant role is supporting a girl’s path to the Girl Scout Bronze Award. As a parent you may be called upon to be coach, mentor, cheerleader, sounding board and chauffeur. As a parent, you are not expected to be a taskmaster—this is the girl’s project.
