Girl Scout Silver Award Steps

Complete and Submit a Final Report

The Silver Award Final report is used to review and approve troop and individual girl projects. Please designate one adult volunteer to be the project contact and complete the report after discussing the questions with the girls. Submit one Silver Award Final Report per project.

NOTE: As part of the Final Report, a Silver Award Project Time Log and Reflection must be uploaded for each girl.

Approval and Ceremonies

Congratulations on completing your project and making a difference! Now it’s time to be recognized. To participate in a council Girl Award Ceremony, projects must be completed and final reports submitted by March 31. If the final report is submitted after March 31, girls will be recognized at the following year’s ceremony.  Normally, girls have until September 30 of the year they bridge to Seniors to complete their project and submit final reports. Due to continuing challenges posed by COVID-19, we have extended that deadline to March 31, as well.

Adult volunteers will be notified once the council has reviewed and approved the Final Report. Upon approval, Silver Award pins may be purchased at any Spirit of Nebraska Juliette's Boutique or online. Each girl will be recognized during a virtual council ceremony in June. Silver Award Certificates and patches will be mailed to the adult who submitted the final report.
