Girl Scouting’s Highest AwardsThe Golden Eagle of Merit, the highest award in GirlScouting from 1916 to 1919, marked the beginning of a longtradition of using prestigious awards to recognize girls whomake a difference in their communities and in their own lives.In 1980, Girl Scouts introduced the Girl Scout Gold Award(for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors) as its highest honor,along with the Girl Scout Silver Award (Girl Scout Cadettes).Today these two awards are the highest of the Girl Scoutexperience.

Girl Scout Silver AwardGoing for the Girl Scout Silver Award gives a Girl ScoutCadette the chance to show that she is a leader who isorganized, determined, and dedicated to improving hercommunity. Earning the award puts girls among anexceptional group who have used their knowledge andleadership skills to make a difference in the world.

Step one to earn your Girl Scout Silver Award is to go on aGirl Scout Cadette Journey. Once you complete yourJourney, the suggested minimum time for earning your

Girl Scout Silver Award is 50 hours. You can start by planningthe time in parts, dividing it up by the steps. As a Girl Scout,you are committed to doing your very best with each step,but how much time per step is different for every Girl Scout.So the hours aren’t a rule. Remember, too, that the hoursinclude the fun and challenges you’ll share with your SilverAward team. Each step you take toward making a differencein the world around you gives you a great chance to learn andgrow, and that will make your award project an amazing one!

Girl Scout Gold AwardThe Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and mostprestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadorscan earn. A girl earning the Girl Scout Gold Award will bejoining the ranks of generations of young women who havemade a difference in their communities both locally andglobally. The Girl Scout Gold Award follows the Standards ofExcellence and challenges you to develop yourself as aleader, achieve the Girl Scout Leadership Outcomes, andmake a mark on your community that creates a lasting impacton the lives of others.

Fulfilling the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Awardstarts with the completion of two Girl Scout Senior orAmbassador Journeys, or having earned the Silver Awardand completing one Senior or Ambassador Journey. EachJourney you complete gives you the skills you need to planand implement your Take Action project.

After you have fulfilled the Journey(s) requirement, 80 hoursis the suggested minimum hours for the steps: identifying anissue, investigating it thoroughly, getting help and building ateam, creating a plan, presenting your plan, gatheringfeedback, taking action, and educating and inspiring others.The suggested minimum hours are not a rule; they are aguide for you to plan your time in achieving your goal.
