Silver Award
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 (or equivalent)
Are a registered Girl Scout Cadette
Have completed a Cadette Journey
Steps to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award
- Identify 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 and submit your Girl Scout Silver Award Intent Form. (You can also use this Intent Form Worksheet prior to the online submission to gather information).
