Grades 6-12
Girl Awards
Information found in this Girl Awards section is basic information about award opportunities available to girls in grades 6-12. Use the navigation on the left to visit specific award opportunities.
If you want to earn the Girl Scout Silver or Gold Awards, you must first determine which set of requirements you will follow:
- If you did any requirements prior to October 1, 2009, you may want to continue under the old guidelines in your Studio 2B “Go for It” modules. Or you may choose to begin the new way.
- Any girl who registered as a Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6, 7, 8), Girl Scout Senior (grades 9, 10), or Girl Scout Ambassador (grades 11, 12) in the fall of 2009 or after must follow the new guidelines as described on the GSUSA website.
Forms for both old (Studio 2B) and new way (Discover, Connect, Take Action) for the Girl Scout Silver and Gold Awards may be found at the Form Fountain.
Be sure to check out all the scholarships for Girl Scouts.
