Girl Scouts' Highest Awards ~ Girl Scout Gold and Silver

For each of these awards-the highest achievements in Girl Scouting-a girl will have planned and executed a project that fulfills a need within her community (whether local or global), creates change, and encompasses organizational, leadership, and networking skills.

	The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouts, focuses on a 14- to 17-year-old Girl Scout's interests and personal journey through leadership skills, career explorations, self-improvement, and service.
	The Girl Scout Silver Award symbolizes an 11- to 14-year-old Girl Scout's accomplishments in Girl Scouting and community activities as she matures and works to better her life and the lives of others.
