Leadership Awards
Are you looking for a way to take action and make the world a better place? Girl Scouts has various leadership and service awards for girls. Whether you’re working with younger Girl Scouts at camp, helping out another troop, or out in your community there are service awards to recognize all that you have done. Check out the awards below.
Please review the info below, along with the Girls Guide to Girl Scouting book for each age level. For more information, please contact Tammy Breen at TBreen@gscwm.org.
Hours used to earn these awards should be unique to each Leadership Award and cannot be applied towards other Girl Scout awards. Each bar and award represents a new project and can only be earned once.

A leadership position can be completed at your school, place of worship, library, town council, community center, after-school club or a similar organization. For example, you might serve as school yearbook editor, on the student council or serve a term on an event planning board. Your length of service will depend on the term specified by the organization you are working with but should be anywhere from three months to one year. You are responsible for keeping a log of your hours and the leadership role you have completed and your troop leader will approve your Torch Award. You or your troop is responsible for purchasing your Torch Award from the GSCWM council store.
