The Silver Award is an individual or small group (3-4 people) project where girls take the lead in taking action to make their local neighborhood or community better. Girls follow national award guidelines and identify an issue they care about, explore their community, make a plan and put it into motion. The Silver Award takes approximately 50 hours to complete and is approved by the troop/group leader.
Girls who earn their Silver Award are eligible to bypass one of the two pre-requisites to earning the Gold Award.
Have you ever looked around your neighborhood or school and wondered how you could make a change for the better? Going for the Girl Scout Silver Award—the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn—gives you the chance to show that you are a leader who is organized, determined, and dedicated to improving your community. Earning the Award puts you among an exceptional group of girls who have used their knowledge and leadership skills to make a difference in the world.
Here are the steps you’ll take to earn your Girl Scout Silver Award:
- Go on a Cadette Journey.
- Identify issues you care about.
- Build your Girl Scout Silver Award team of 3-4 girls or decide to go solo.
- Explore your community.
- Pick your Silver Award Take Action project.
- Develop your project.
- Make a plan and put it into motion.
- Reflect, share your story, and celebrate.
As a Girl Scout, you are committed to doing your very best with each step, but how much time per step is different for every Girl Scout, so the hours aren't a rule. Remember, too, that the hours include the fun and challenges you’ll share with your Silver Award team. Each step you take toward making a difference in the world around you gives you a great chance to learn and grow, and that will make your award project an amazing one!
