    • 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.

    • Cannot be done by multiple teams. Only one team (1-4 Girl Scouts) may collaborate on each Silver Award project.
