How to earn the Girl Scout Silver Award
Complete all prerequisites.
Identify an issue you care about.
Build your Girl Scout Silver Award team or decide to go solo.
Explore your community and think of how that issue affects your community.
Choose a Silver Award project that can lead to lasting change.
Download the Silver Award checklist and mark off all of the elements as you complete them in your Project Proposal and Final Report to meet the GSUSA Silver Award standards.
Make your plan and then fill out your project proposal.
Next, submit your proposal to Girl Scouts Heart of Central California using the Smarter Select platform. You will attach the already completed proposal in your submission. If you are working as part of a team, each girl should submit her own proposal. All members of the team can use the same form in their submission. You will receive feedback on your proposal and next steps within three weeks. Multiple rounds of feedback may be needed if your project does not meet all standards.
Once your proposal receives approval, put your plan into motion.
Document your process with photos, videos and journaling.
