Silver Award Final Report

Girl Scout Silver Award Final Report

To be completed by each Girl Scout separately, even if project was earned as a team. This will ensure each Girl Scout's award is properly logged on GSUSA accounts.
I am a member of Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore.
This form is for members of Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore. If you belong to a different Girl Scout council, please reach out to your council directly for guidance on submitting your 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 Silver Award Final Report is to be used by you (and/or your team)—a registered Girl Scout Cadette in grades 6th to 8th —with the assistance of your troop/group leader, adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor, and project advisor (optional) for approval of your Silver Award project.

Your completed Silver Award report includes 4 sections:

• Section 1: Share how your project went by updating your Silver Award Project Proposal responses with a recap of your project. Include supplemental documentation of budget worksheet and money-earning forms if applicable.

• Section 2: Outline how you shared your project and provide copies of photos, videos, flyers, and/or other evidence that documents the work you did. Include photo release forms if needed.

• Section 3: Complete your individual reflection, sharing what you learned along the way. Include your time log (required).

• Section 4: Signature page - Girl Scout, adult Girl Scout volunteer supervisor and Troop/Group Leader.
Completing this form requires signatures from the Girl Scout, Adult Supervisor AND Troop/Group Leader.
I have my budget, time log, photos and/or publications from my project ready to attach to this form.

Signature Page
I the Girl Scout Cadette, 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, Girl Scout Cadette, followed all the requirements and guidelines as outlined by the Cadette Workbook for Earning Your Silver Award and my council during my Silver Award project.
