The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a girl can earn as a Cadette Girl Scout. This award recognizes the efforts of girls who are in grades 6-9, or are ages 11-14, in a range of Girl Scout and community experiences, as well as recognizing their commitment to better their lives and the lives of others. Each girl working to achieve the Girl Scout Silver Award must complete four requirements that will help her build leadership and living skills, explore career possibilities, and make a commitment to improving herself. The final requirement is to design and carry out a project that takes a minimum of 30 hours to complete.
