Bronze Award Final Report

Application for Bronze Award
All required questions must be answered clearly and thoroughly. Simply entering a symbol or placeholder to bypass a response is not acceptable. The more detailed and accurate your answers, the better the chances your group's project report will receive council approval.

Important Information Please Read:

This application is for a leader-approved Bronze Award project completed in this membership year, which runs from October 1 through September 30.

Upon completing your group/troop Girl Scout Bronze Award project, the group/troop leader must complete and submit this form.

Please submit this form only once. Multiple submissions are confusing and may delay your report review. You may email awards@gsnypenn.org if you have changes after submission.

Only Juniors who have completed a Junior level Journey, including the Journey Take Action project, and have completed 20 hours toward the Bronze Award project are eligible. (Hours spent completing the Journey and the Journey Take Action project do not count toward Bronze Award hours.)
- Junior team members must be registered Girl Scouts in 4th or 5th grade.
- The final report is due September 30th of the year in which any group member will enter 6th grade.
- If you have a team member entering 7th grade this year, they are a Cadette and are not eligible to earn a Bronze Award.
By submitting this application, you acknowledge that the Bronze Award is a Take Action project, not a community service project. You also understand that if the project does not meet the Take Action criteria outlined in the required prerequisite training, your group may be asked to complete additional tasks to fulfill the award requirements.

If you have any questions about completing this form, contact us at info@gsnypenn.org or call 800-943-4414, option 2.
Today's date:*
This form must be submitted by 11:59pm on 9/30 the year any Junior on the project enters 6th grade.

I completed the GSNYPENN Required Prerequisite Bronze Award Volunteer Training course.*

YesNo
Ideally, the required training should have been completed before starting this project, as it covers crucial guidelines and expectations. Now that the project is finished, there's a chance some requirements may not have been fully met. Your group might need to revisit or build on the project to earn the Bronze Award.

To prevent this from happening in the future, please complete any required training before beginning a Bronze or Silver Award with your Girl Scouts.

This is what your project directly addressed.
What community research did your team do to determine the above root cause?*
Who in the community did the group talk to? What other fact finding did they do?
How did your team work together?*
Describe your team's project, including the result and how it directly reduced or eliminated the root cause of your issue.*
Be sure to provide the details of what you actually did and what the result was.
What problems came up? How did you solve them?*
What worked, what didn't, and what would you do differently next time?*
What awareness or educational activities did your team do to inspire others to act?*
How did you involve and educate others outside your troop about your issue and project?
Try it: Describe how your team tried to make your project sustainable?
Sustainable means making an impact even after the project is completed - not just the materials used are sustainable.
AWARD APPLICANT INFORMATION
