Girl Scouts honor our country in many ways. This love and respect is evident in all flag ceremonies, especially when retiring a flag. Retiring a flag that has served its useful purpose originated with the American Legion National Convention in 1937. When a flag has become worn, or damaged, the proper way to dispose of it is through burning or burial. Girl Scouts learn how to perform this solemn ceremony and conduct it with the utmost respect.

What makes a great Girl Scout year? Earning badges, hiking and camping, taking field trips, selling cookies, and enjoying Girl Scout traditions. Now you can tie all that together with a choice of two leadership journeys.

The final step is to plan and complete a project that builds on her accomplishments in Girl Scouting and helps others.

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn. It shows she has made a promise to help others, improve her community and world, and become the best she can be. This award is approved and presented by the troop leader.
