Bronze Award given to 251 local Girl Scouts

FARMINGDALE — The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore honored 251 Girl Scouts from Monmouth and Ocean counties with the Girl Scout Bronze Award on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the Girl Scouts’ Program Activity Center, Farmingdale.

Girl Scouts’ highest awards — the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards — are a girl’s chance to make a lasting difference in the world. The Bronze Award is the highest recognition for achievement for Girl Scouts in grades 4 and 5.

The Bronze Award recognizes Girl Scouts who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable “Take Action” projects that address important community needs. To earn the award, each Girl Scout’s project must include at least 20 hours of community service and taking a leadership role while using her strength, talents and skills in putting her plan into action.
