Bronze Award | Girl Scouts

Make your community a better place

It all starts here. Juniors team up with fellow Girl Scouts to explore their community, discover a need or issue they care about and work together to address it. It’s a chance to create a plan and make an impact on the community they live in.

Bronze Award Highlight

Troop 74614 in Lakeland created a Junior Explorer Booklet for Se7en Wetlands to educate others about nature, the environment and the local ecosystem. Children who visit the wetlands can pick up a booklet in the office or at the start of the trail to learn how to be safe outdoors and about natural resources.

To earn the Bronze Award, the Troop developed a plan, worked as a team and collaborated with with the park's staff members in order to help others in their community.
