Silver Award Orientation
for Girl Scouts 11-14
 Attend
a two-hour Girl Scout Silver Award Orientation and Question
& Answer session designed just for girls. Girls will learn
about the new guidelines for the Girl Scout Silver Award.
Participants will receive information on:
- how to select interest projects,
- identifying leadership opportunities,
- finding resources for career exploration,
and
- working toward an appropriate Silver Award
Project.
Written materials will include required GSSJC
paperwork as well as a new event planning guide for girls
wishing to hold a community event as their final project. |
Who can attend: Registered Girl
Scouts 11-14
(Must be in sixth grade to ninth grade)
and their troop/group advisor/leader.)

NOTE: This orientation will be beneficial to girls who
may already have started working on components of the Silver
Award under pre-summer 2004 guidelines but who have not reached
the Project step. These girls have two to three years to complete
requirements under the previous guidelines, but must follow
the new guidelines for the final project.
