Right now, you can either do it the old way (15 hours not including planning/research) or the new way (50 hours and a journey including planning/research). In a few years, only the latter will be accepted.

Depending on how often your Girl Scout Junior Team meets, it will probably take about 6 months to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award, including the Journey.

What girl scout badges do you transport from junoir to cadette?
Normally, you transfer the ones that you don't earn, like the Flag, the troop numbers, the Brownie Wings, and any special patches you bought at the store. (You don't have to take these off if you don't want to. You can buy new ones at the store.) And don't forget the Bronze award pin if you earned your Bronze award. It all usually depends on what you want on your vest. If you want your favorite patch, say, the Theater patch, on your vest/sash, go for it. But you can't earn badges as a cadette. You earn IP's, but you probably already knew that.
