Bronze Award Final Report

Bronze Award Final Report
Congratulations on completing your Bronze Award project! 🎉

You’ve reached the final step in your Bronze Award journey! We’re excited to hear about what your group accomplished and the difference you made through your Take Action project.

Please complete all required questions clearly and thoroughly. Your responses should reflect what your group did, what you learned, and the impact of your project. Please do not use symbols or placeholders in place of a response.

Before You Submit

This final report is for a leader-approved Bronze Award project completed during the current membership year (October 1–September 30).

Please make sure:
- All team members are registered Girl Scouts in 4th or 5th grade.
- All team members have completed a Junior-level Journey (including the Journey Take Action project) or a Junior Leadership Award.
- The group has completed at least 20 hours toward the Bronze Award project. Journey, Leadership Award, and Journey Take Action hours do not count toward Bronze Award project hours.
- The report is submitted by September 30 of the year in which any group member will enter 6th grade. A Girl Scout entering 7th grade is a Cadette and is not eligible to earn the Bronze Award.
Remember: The Bronze Award is a Take Action project, not a community service project. Your project must meet the Take Action criteria covered in the required prerequisite training. If additional information or tasks are needed, GSNYPENN may contact the group/troop leader.

After You Submit

I completed the GSNYPENN Required Prerequisite Bronze Award Volunteer Training course.
A Quick Training Reminder
The required Bronze Award training is designed to help Girl Scouts and adults understand the award requirements, Take Action expectations, and guidelines before beginning the project.

If the required training was not completed before the project began, some award requirements may not have been fully addressed. If needed, GSNYPENN may contact the group/troop leader about additional information or steps to help the project meet the Bronze Award requirements.

For future Highest Award projects, please make sure all required training is completed before beginning the project.

Please answer the following questions with as much detail and information as you can. We love hearing about everything you did!
What issue did your Bronze Award team identify in your community, and why did you select this issue?
Remember, your issue is not your project.
What was the root cause of your issue? (Root cause is why the issue is happening)
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

About Your Bronze Award Team: The Bronze Award is designed as a group project completed by a team of Juniors. We understand that team circumstances can vary. Sometimes not all team members are able to complete the project, or a Girl Scout may complete her project with friends who are not Girl Scouts. If only one Girl Scout is completing the project, please provide a brief explanation.
Only one applicant? Please provide a brief explanation and tell us if the Junior worked with a group of non-Girl Scout peers:
Your project should have been planned with a team, even if none of your team completed the project.
Please list each applicant's name (this is how the name will appear on the certificate):
