Junior Global Action Award Year 1 Badge

The Girl Scout Global Action award calls for girls to address the global goals by discovering, connecting, and taking action in their communities and the world. In 2023, the award focuses on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption (how we use things) and Production (how we make things).

Every Girl Scout must complete five steps to earn her Global Action award. The first, second, and fourth steps have three activities to choose from. You only need to do one activity in each of those steps to earn the award, but don’t let that stop you—you can do as many as you’d like!

Steps:

1. Explore the Global Goals and Global Action Award.
2. Explore what it means to be a global citizen.
3. Create a global citizen challenge.
4. Explore what responsible consumption means.
5. Create a responsible consumption challenge.

When you’ve earned this award, you’ll understand what it means to be a global citizen. You’ll also explore how the things we use and the waste we create impacts our planet. You’ll create two separate challenges: one for being a global citizen and one for SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
