Senior Awards

Silver/Gold Torch

This award can be earned by a Senior Girl Scout who completes a Senior level Journey, including the Take Action Project. The Girl Scout must also serve a full term in a leadership position of her choice.

For example, you might serve as a school yearbook editor, on a planning committee for graduation, co-teach a youth class at your place of worship, or on an event planning board at Girl Scouts. The length of your service will depend on the term specified by the organization or the particular position you hold.

Once complete, your troop leaders approve and award the pin.
