Journeys
Please note that Journeys will officially be retired on October 1, 2026, and in their place, Girl Scouts is launching fresh Leadership Awards for Juniors through Ambassadors! These new awards celebrate all the ways girls lead—themselves, their teams and their communities. With flexible options, real-world skill-building and no pressure to lead a certain way, these awards help Girl Scouts grow confidence, explore their leadership style and make an impact on their own terms. Each award is represented by a beautiful new pin that captures the spirit of an awardee’s leadership exploration path.
Already started a Journey? Keep going! While Highest Award prerequisite requirements are changing, Journeys will still fulfill this requirement after they retire.
Girl Scout Journeys are multi-session experiences in which girls dig deeper into their interests and use the skills they gain along the way to make a difference in their community. While badges show the world you’ve learned a new skill, Journey awards say, “I found a way to make a difference.”
During a Journey, Girl Scouts do hands-on activities, connect with experts and take the lead on a Take Action project with their community. And once a Junior, Cadette, Senior or Ambassador completes their Journey, they’re ready to drive lasting change in their communities by going for their Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.
Complete Journeys on your own, with your troop or through council resources like the event calendar or community partner opportunities. Journey requirements can be found in the Award and Badge Explorer. Volunteers and Girl Scout caregivers can also find the requirements in the Volunteer Toolkit.
Every Girl Scout grade level has different Journeys to choose from that include a sustainable Take Action project and all the exploration, discovery and adventure to power a lifetime of leadership and success!
