Girl Scouts' Highest Honors

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. Girls must meet requirements and complete a special project benefitting their communities to receive these awards. The Girl Scout Bronze Award for Junior Girl Scouts ages 8-11 was introduced in 2001. These three awards are a highlight of the Girl Scout experience.
