• 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 difference in your community!

    Before beginning your Silver Award project, you must complete and submit this online proposal for council approval. This helps us understand your project idea and make sure you're on the right track. Our council will review your proposal and respond with approval or suggestions for improvement within 7–12 business days.

    Need help getting started?

    GSUSA has created a Silver Award Project Proposal PDF that can help you think through your project idea and plan your next steps. This resource includes more detailed questions than our council's proposal and is completely optional.

    Important: You only need to complete and submit this online form, not the GSUSA PDF. Your project must be approved by our council before you begin working on it.
