Silver Award Girl Scouts

The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6-8) can achieve. It is a meaningful way to use the skills they learn as a Girl Scout including, critical thinking, project management, problem solving, active leadership, teamwork and volunteering. Earning the Girl Scout Silver Award involves the time to complete a Journey (step 1), and then a minimum of 50 hours to complete steps 2-10. Read about featured Silver Award Girl Scouts.
