Silver Award
Become a Silver Award Girl Scout.
Hey, Cadettes, this one's for you! Change the world and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting.
When you team up with a small group of Girl Scout friends to find an issue you care about and then make a difference in your community, you can earn the Girl Scout Silver Award- one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting.
You've got this Girl Scout!
For more information, check out Girl Scouts of the USA's Highest Award FAQ.
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.
Steps to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award
- Find an issue you care about.
- Build your Girl Scout Silver Award team (of up to four Cadettes) 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. Fill out the GSCP2P Silver Award Project Proposal to let council staff know about your project AFTER deciding on a project plan, but BEFORE starting your project. (You can also use this Silver Award Project Proposal Worksheet prior to the online project proposal to gather your information.)
- Make a plan and put it into motion.
- Reflect, share your story and celebrate. Don't forget to complete and submit your Silver Award Final Report by September 30 of the year you graduate 8th grade.
