True North Award! Workshop for Juniors

Build Confidence by achieving your goals!

Coming in 2026

Junior Girl Scouts will build their personal leadership as they earn the new GSUSA True North Award. This 2-day virtual workshop will supply Girl Scout Juniors with an abundance of confidence as they explore what matters most and how to stay true to themselves. Juniors will create a plan to take meaningful action towards one of their own goals even though it might feel a little hard or scary.

Completing a True North Award offers valuable preparation for the Bronze Award by guiding Juniors through self-reflection on their core values and supporting them in developing a plan to achieve personal goals. This process equips them with the skills necessary to effectively identify and address community issues when selecting a focus for their Bronze Award project.
All Workshops4girls programs are facilitated by experienced Girl Scout Highest Award experts (Bronze, Silver, and Gold).
​The programs prioritize the development of skills that contribute directly to the achievement of impactful and successful Bronze Awards.

True North is a new program, but what do Juniors who completed other Virtual Workshops4girls programs have to say about their experience?

I will tell my friends that it was awesome and don't be scared. This was one of the best experiences I have had as a junior.
I learned how to work with people I don't know and have a good time doing it.
My favorite part was how I got to meet a bunch of new friends I didn't know before.
My favorite part was how it taught me to be brave and believe in myself.
Starting 5th grade was hard. I felt that I had no power. One thing that I have learned is that women can speak up. I learned to stand up for myself.
I liked learning about the guest speakers lives, I liked getting to know the girls and the leaders better, I liked planning my project with my friends, and writing stories!
