2023-2024 Inspire Discovery

New! Guides to earning your Silver Award.

GSUSA has updated the Silver Award guidelines and materials to help Cadettes earn this prestigious award. All materials are now available on the GSEM website and we’re here to help along the way! The new guidebooks include step-by-step instructions to plan a successful project. The Project Proposal template and Final Report template will help each Cadette create a comprehensive plan with their troop leader/adult volunteer. These are approved by the troop leader/ adult volunteer and do not need to be submitted to GSEM for approval.

The checklist materials will help each Cadette stay on track during their project. Check out all the new materials on the website at girlscoutsem.org/highestawards
