The Girl Scout Silver Award™, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn, gives you the chance to do big things and make your community better in the process.
This Final Report is to be used by you (and/or your team) — a registered Girl Scout Cadette in grades 6 to 8 — with the assistance of your troop/group leader, adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor, and project advisor (optional) for approval of your Silver Award project.
Please allow approximately four weeks for review and approval to begin your project. Keep in mind that during our high volume times, additional time may be needed. A member of the Silver Award Committee will be in touch if any clarifying details are needed.
How to complete this form:1. Read the
Silver Award Final Report questions ahead of time and think about your answers.
2. If you are working in a group, fill out Sections 1 and 2 together. Section 3 is for individual reflections. When Sections 1, 2, and 3 are completed then you’re ready to obtain the appropriate signatures in Section 4.
The Final Report must be submitted with all four sections together. •
Section 1: Share how your project went by updating your Project Proposal responses with a recap of your project. Include supplemental documentation of
budget worksheet and money-earning forms if needed.
• Section 2: Outline how you shared your project and provide copies of photos, videos, flyers, and/or other evidence that documents the work you did. Include photo release forms if needed.
• Section 3: Complete your
individual reflection, sharing what you learned along the way. Include your
time log (required).
• Section 4:
Signature page3. Complete and submit the Silver Award Final Report.
A few friendly reminders:
• Finish your Silver Award Take Action™ project and Final Report by September 30 of the year you or your oldest team member completes 8th grade!
• When the Silver Award project winds down, the outcome may not be exactly as planned. That’s OK! Girl Scouts earn the Silver Award as long as award requirements have been met. The most important outcomes are the ones you gain for yourself: improved confidence, better organization, stronger teamwork, and more. It’s less about the perfect final project and more about what you discover along the way!
