Silver Award: Proposal
Submit 1 proposal per GROUP. Collaborate on your answers. Current 8th graders must submit their Silver Award project proposal by March 1. Groups may have a maximum of 4 members. A staff member will review your proposal and schedule your presentation to the committee. For the presentation, you may continue to research the details of your project, but do NOT begin work on the actual project until after you meet with the committee for feedback.

Tips for writing a great proposal!
1) Explain your project as if you are speaking to someone who needs all the details. 2)Reread your answers to check for spelling and grammar. 3) Answer in a complete sentence. It's a great idea to repeat the question - for example if the question is "What is your name?", you should reply "My name is _."

Project Finances
Silver Award projects may be funded by the troop treasury, contributions from family members, or through money-earning activities. If you will be conducting a money-earning activity (asking individuals or businesses for donations or fundraising such as a bake sale or car wash), you need to complete a Money-Earning Application, found on the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland website.
We understand that we need to print and use the Silver Award Budget Worksheet. This will be submitted with the Final Report.

Address the Root Cause
The success of a Silver Award project can be measured - the number of people helped, the reduction of the community's need, and other concrete numbers. A Silver Award project is sustainable when it creates lasting change and is not a one-time event. Sustainability can be achieved by making a permanent solution, educating and inspiring others, or changing a rule, regulation, or law.

Share Your Story!
There are many ways to spread the word about your project! Some ideas to consider include, distributing a flier or brochure, making a website, publishing a video, posting on social media, being interviewed for local news, or giving a presentation to a group or club. If your project has a physical space, object(s), or distributed item(s), it should be labeled to identify it as a Girl Scout Silver Award project.
How do you plan to tell others about your project?
*
We understand that many of the ways that we could share my story will require additional approval. Before publishing information to the public, including news interviews and articles, we will contact the council.
