Girl Scouts offers many fun and challenging activities and projects for all grade levels. Journey awards, grade level awards, leadership awards, patches and other insignia are available to purchase through our Council Shops.

Girl Scout Leadership Journeys
A key part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is the leadership Journey, a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme. Each Journey is tied to some of Girl Scouting's 15 national outcomes for girls, as defined in the Girl Scout Leadership Model. These outcomes are integral to the three leadership keys, Discover, Connect, and Take Action. Girls now have two series of leadership journeys to choose from: It's Your World - Change It! and It's Your Planet - Love It! Click here to learn more about Journeys.

Leadership Awards - The Highest Awards in Girl Scouting
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. Today these three awards are a highlight of the Girl Scout experience.

Girl Scout Gold Award
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement a Girl Scout 14 to 18 can earn. It represents the work and dedication a girl has shown to Girl Scouting and her community as well as her commitment towards making the world a better place. The Girl Scout Gold Award was updated in 2004. Earning the Gold Award requires hard work and a willingness to take on significant responsibility. It will involve decision making and the ability to follow a plan set by each girl. Someone once described the Girl Scout Gold Award as being "what you really want to be remembered for" in Girl Scouting. For many, the leadership skills, organizational skills, and sense of community and commitment that come from "going for the Gold" set the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship.
