You have the power to improve your community through action
Ready to help your community and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting? Cadettes can team up with a small group of fellow Girl Scouts or work on their own. To earn the Silver Award, you will research an issue you care about, make a plan to address it, and then take action to improve your community.
You can become a Silver Award Girl Scout if you:
Are in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade
Are a registered Girl Scout Cadette
Have completed a Cadette Journey
How to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award
Complete the Silver Award Training on gsLearn (accessible via myGS)
Build your Girl Scout Silver Award team (up to three other Girl Scouts) or decide to go solo.
Explore your community, find an issue you care about, and think about how that issue affects your community.
Choose a Silver Award project that can lead to lasting change and develop that project.
Make a plan, decide which team member will be responsible for which part, and submit your Project Proposal.
Put your plan in motion. Complete the project, with each Girl Scout contributing at least 50 hours.
Upon completion of your project, ask your supportive adults to review the Silver Award Checklist and approve your final report.
Reflect, share your story, and celebrate.
