You have the power to improve your community through action.
Ready to help your community and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting? Cadettes can team up with a small group of fellow Girl Scouts or work on their own.

You can become a Silver Award Girl Scout if you:
- Are in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade

- Learn how to develop your project by attending the Silver Award Workshop.
- Make a plan using the Silver Award Guide (PDF).
- Choose a Silver Award project that can lead to lasting change and submit for approval.
