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.

Please note that these requirements and guidelines are not the current version of the three awards.
Towards the end of the 2010 year, there will be new steps and requirements for the girls to follow to achieve the Girl Scout Awards.
