A Few Friendly Reminders

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!
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!
Keep a copy of this Final Report for your records.

Section 4: Signatures

Team Member Signatures

We*—the Girl Scout Cadette(s), troop/group leader, and adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor—agree and understand that the Silver Award Project:

Cannot be just a collection or donation drive. Donations may be part of a larger Silver Award project.
Cannot be a fundraiser for another organization, program, or individual.
Is not simply volunteering time for another organization in an already existing project.
Cannot be done by multiple teams. Only one team (1–4 Girl Scouts) may collaborate on each Silver Award project.
Is a Take Action project, not a community service project—even if the community service project is very large and takes a lot of time and hard work.

I, Girl Scout Cadette, followed all the requirements and guidelines as outline by the Cadette Workbook for Earning Your Silver Award and my council during my Silver Award project.
