The Silver Award is the highest award Cadette Girl Scouts can earn.  It recognizes a girl’s efforts in a range of Girl Scout and community activities, as well as her commitment to others and toward creating a better world.  Silver Award recipients are invited to be recognized at the annual Gold Award ceremony, but must be sure to communicate with the teen program coordinator regarding participation in the ceremony at least one month prior to the event.  Troop leaders and girls should review the requirements for earning the Silver Award in the Girl Scout Silver Award – Go For It! Focus book, available in the GSGEC Gift Shops.  This award does not require approval from GSGEC staff, however the Council does want to keep track of all the progress the girls are making in the community.
