Strive for Silver Award Orientation
Attending a
Silver Award orientation can be the most beneficial thing you can do
before beginning work on the Girl Scout Silver Award. Orientations
provide valuable information about the process, the most up-to-date
requirements, and timelines. As of October 1, 2022, taking a Strive
for Silver Award Orientation is required to be taken by all girls
within a year of submitting the Silver Award Proposal.
