Ready to help your community and earn one of the highest awards in Girl Scouting? Cadettes can team up with a small group of fellow Girl Scouts or work on their own. To earn the Silver Award, you will research an issue you care about, make a plan to address it, and then take action to improve your community.
You are in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade
You are a registered Girl Scout Cadette
You have completed the Girl Scout Bronze Award, a Girl Scout Leadership Award (new in 2025!), or a Cadette Journey (retiring in October 2026). New Leadership Awards for Cadettes are the Silver Torch Award, the True North Award, the Teaching Award – Personal Aide, and the Community Advocacy Awards (Take Action and Global Action).
Before submitting your proposal, you should thoroughly research your topic. Form a project plan, but do not begin working on your project until after you submit your Project Proposal to GSKSMO.
