Girl Scout Silver Award

How Girl Scout Cadettes Make the World a Better Place

Have you ever looked around your community and saw something that didn’t seem to work right or was causing concerns? Did you think about things that could be done to improve the issue? Our Cadette Girl Scouts address these problems through earning the Silver Award. Our Silver Award honorees are celebrated by family, friends, volunteers, staff and special guests at the annual Reflections Ceremony held in June each year. Once girls complete their Silver Award Project, they should receive approval from their troop leader before submitting their final project online. Projects must be submitted online by March 1 in order to be recognized at that year’s Reflections Ceremony. Projects received after this date will be recognized at the following year’s ceremony.
