2026-2027 Inspire Discovery

BRONZE AWARD How Girl Scout Juniors Become Real-Life Superheroes! The Girl Scout Bronze Award is an epic leadership adventure where Girl Scout Juniors discover their powers to make a difference in their communities. More than half a million Girl Scouts across the country have stepped up as everyday heroes through the Bronze Award. At Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, Juniors, along with their leaders and caregivers, can suit up with special trainings designed to help Juniors plan, lead and complete their Bronze Award project. For a full list of available trainings, check out the Younger Girl Program Listing section beginning on pg. 24. Once the Bronze Award project has been completed, the leader or adult volunteer will confirm that all requirements have been met and submit the online completion report to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. Projects must be submitted online by March 1 to be recognized at the special award celebration in June each year. Projects received after this date will be recognized at the following year’s celebration.
