GSWCF Sliver Award Final Report

GSWCF Sliver 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.
How to complete this form:
1. Read the Silver Award Final Report questions ahead of time and think about your answers. We recommend using the PDF Template on our council site to draft your responses ahead of time, then you can easily copy and paste them directly into this online form.
2. If you are working in a group, fill out Sections 1 and 2 together. Section 3 is for individual reflections. When Sections 1, 2, and 3 are completed thenyou’ re ready to obtain the appropriate signatures in Section 4. The Final Report must be submitted with all four sections together.
• Section 1: Share how your project went by updating your Project Proposal responses with a recap of your project. Include supplemental documentation of budget worksheet and money-earning forms if needed.
• 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
3. Complete and submit the Silver Award Final Report Form.

A few friendly reminders:
• When the Silver Award project winds down, the outcome may not be exactly as planned. That’s OK! Girl Scouts earn the Silver Award as long as award requirements have been met. The most important outcomes are the ones you gain for yourself: improved confidence, better organization, stronger teamwork, and more. It’s less about the perfect final project and more about what you discover along the way!
• Finish your Silver Award Take Action project and Final Report by September 30 of the year you or your oldest team member completes 8th grade!
• Keep a copy of this Final Report for your records.
I have submitted my Silver Award Proposal and received approval to proceed with my project.

We*—the Girl Scout Cadette(s), troop/group leader, and adultGirl Scout volunteer supervisor—agree and understand that the Silver AwardProject:• Cannot be just a collection or donation drive. Donationsmay 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 organizationin an already existing project. • Cannot be done by multiple teams. Only one team (1–4 GirlScouts) may collaborate on each Silver Award project. • Is a Take Actionproject, not a community service project—even if the community service projectis 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. *
