The Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn. It is highly regarded and gives you the chance to show that you are a leader who is organized, determined, and dedicated to improving your community.
This is a significant commitment by both the Girl Scout and her parents. Parents are expected to supervise their daughter for the duration of the project.
- Design and implement a sustainable Take Action Project. The project must be sustainable, not just a one-time event and have measurable numbers that can point to the project’s success - emphasis on sustainable.
- You are required to put in at least 50 hours of work on the Take Action Project per girl on your team.
- You choose your team of 1-4 fellow Girl Scout Cadettes.
- You will need to build your team of adults to help you: a project advisor, your troop leader, and community members. Note: your troop leader is not your project advisor (unless she is your mother).
- The first step is to complete a “Journey “ – we will do that this year as a group.
- The Silver Award is a prerequisite for the Gold Award that can be earned in High School.
- Your project & paperwork must be completed by the end of your 8th grade year. Since it is a two year process, you will not be able to start the process with our troop in your 8th grade year.
- Because you will need to complete the "Journey" first, then work on your project, this is a 2-year process. I will be doing the "Journey" in 3 marathon meetings this year. You will need to commit to the "Journey" by the first Journey Marathon (date TBD) in order to start the process of earning your Silver Award this year.
