Honoring Excellence | Girl Scouts

Bronze. Silver. Gold. These are the highest awards a Girl Scout can earn. It's our honor to celebrate those who earn them.

She's earned one of the Highest Awards in Girl Scouts. She's shown the world and herself, that if she can dream it, she can do it – and the future is hers. Now, it's time to celebrate her!

Join us in Fargo, ND to recognize Girl Scouts who have earned their Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards this past year. Adult members who have made a significant impact and earned a Council or GSUSA Award will also be recognized.

Stay tuned for details on our June 2023 event.
