Girl Scout Silver Award Final Report

Girl Scout 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 (and/or your team) – a registered Girl Scout Cadette in grades 6-8 – with the assistance of you troop/group leader, adult Girl Scout supervisor and project advisor (optional) for final approval of your Silver Award project.

How to complete this form:
1. Read the Silver Award Final Report questions ahead of time and think about your answers.
2. When submitting this form, please be aware that it is NOT a savable form. Please follow these directions on how to complete this form before you begin.
  SECTIONS 1,2 and 4
  Be prepared to complete these sections at the same time. Therefore you will need your entire team and Girl Scout adult volunteers present to complete these sections, however if you have completed Sections 1,2 and 4 using the paper version of the Silver Award Final Report, you will have an opportunity to upload a digital copy to the form and then submit it.
  
  You will need to gather your documentation of a Budget Worksheet (picture, scan, excel spreadsheet, or other suitable file) and files of photos, videos, flyers, and/or other evidence to document your work prior to completing this form.
  SECTION 3
  The individual reflection responses and time logs, can be completed by each Cadette in ONE of these ways.
  
  i. Each team member can upload digital files of their Time Log (picture, scan, excel spreadsheet, or other suitable file) and Individual Reflections on this Final Report form.
  
  OR
  
  ii. Each team member can complete their Individual Reflections and Individual Time Logs separately using the fillable forms and submit them to Customer Care (customercare@gsmw.org) within 7 days of the submission of this Final Report form.
  
  For both options, you can use the Silver Award Final Report: Individual Reflections fillable form and the Silver Award Final Report: Time Log fillable form.
  
  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 report 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 the oldest team member completes 8th grade!
  - Your troop leader will receive an email copy of this Final Report.

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, Cadette Girl Scout, have read and understood all the requirements and guidelines specific to the Girl Scout Silver Award as outlined by the Cadette Workbook for Earning Your Silver Award and council-specific requirements. I am aware of all the deadlines for the Girl Scout Silver Award. Should any major plans change, I will contact the person who approved my proposal.
I, adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor, recognize it is the Cadette’s responsibility to fulfill the requirements for the Girl Scout Silver Award including all deadlines. I understand that they must uphold guidelines specific to their project as outlined by the Adult Guide for Earning the Silver Award and the Cadette Workbook for Earning Your Silver Award, and council-specific requirements.
