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
Find an issue you care about.
Build your Girl Scout Silver Award team or decide to go solo.
Explore your community and think of how that issue affects your community.
Choose a Silver Award project that can lead to lasting change.
Develop your project. Submit a project proposal directly to your OCMT or USAGSO for approval BEFORE you begin.
Once approved, put your plans into motion.
Reflect, share your story, and celebrate.
Submit your Final Report
Girl Scouts who complete their Silver Award project must submit their final report to USAGSO by September 30 following their 8th grade year. Please submit only one report for each project. Once your final report has been reviewed and we have confirmed that all award requirements were met, you will receive a congratulatory email and instructions to order your Silver Award pin and certificate.
