Silver Award Project Proposal

Council must approve Silver Award Projects before you may begin your project
The Girl Scout Silver Award—the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn—gives you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in your community.

Please complete this Silver Award Project Proposal for review. Our Council will respond with approval or suggestions for improvement within 7–12 business days.

To help you prepare, a PDF version of the proposal is available. You may use it to work through the questions in advance.

We - the Girl Scout Cadette (s), troop/group leader, and adult Girl Scout Volunteer suervisior - agree and understand tha thte 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 voluteering time for another organization in an already exisiting 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 take a lot of time and hard work.
