Girl Scout Silver Award

The Girl Scout Silver Award represents a girl's accomplishments in Girl Scouting and her community as she grows and works to improve her life and the lives of others. The first four requirements of the Girl Scout Silver Award help girls build skills, explore careers, gain leadership skills, and make a commitment to self-improvement. The Girl Scout Silver Award Project can be undertaken when the first four requirements are completed. It can be done as an individual or with a group. If done with a group, a girl must be responsible for a specific part of the project and evaluate her contribution to the project and the group

Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond

New changes are on the horizon for the Girl Scout Gold Award, Girl Scout Silver Award, and leadership awards for Girl Scouts 11-17. As the variations and additions are phased in during 2004-2006, girls will have the opportunity to mix and match old and new activities to create experiences they'll never forget. Read more about the old and new awards for Girl Scouts 11-17.
