Silver Award Final Report

Silver Award Final Report

The Girl Scout Silver Award™, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn, gives you the chance to do big things and make your community better in the process. This Final Report is to be used by you — a registered Girl Scout Cadette in grades 6 to 8—with the assistance of your troop/ group leader, adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor, and project advisor (optional) for approval of your Silver Award project. Each eligible Girl Scout Cadette must submit their own Final Report to the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana Council.
Important Dates

Since the Girl Scout Silver Award is a special honor for Girl Scout Cadettes, projects must be complete and final reports must be submitted no later than September 30th of the year you start ninth grade. For the annual council, Girls of Distinction Celebration, final reports must be submitted by April 1st. Reports received after the cutoff date will be recognized at Girls of Distinction Celebration the next year. Please reach out to council if you have any questions regarding these deadlines.
