How to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award
Your first step is to take the gsLearn course “GSSC Introduction to the Silver Award” on your MyGS account. Please note this course is only available to adult members and volunteers. Information is to be shared with girls.
Go on a Girl Scout Cadette Journey (6th, 7th, and 8th grade): Discover, Connect and Take Action. Develop leadership skills. Journeys can be completed independently or through our council activities/programs
What issues are important to you? Identify why it matters and how your community is affected.
Form a Team: Join with 3 other girls or Go Solo and partner with friends, businesses, neighbors. Develop patience, cooperation, and respect.
Explore: Define your community and how you can assist the people and places you encounter.
Create a Community Contact List with names, contact information, and how they can assist you.
Select a Take Action Project: Decide where you can create positive change by developing a solution to a specific issue that matters to you. Your project must be sustainable and take, at a minimum, 50 hours to complete per girl.
Outline steps to complete your project by identifying: The talents of each member of your team, individuals or organizations who can assist you, fundraising ideas, supplies needed, and time needed.
