The information submitted will be used by Girl Scouts of Orange County (GSOC) to provide support for the project and ensure project plans meet required guidelines.

Instructions

Girl Scout Cadettes submit this Silver Award Intent Form - and attach a copy of their completed Girl Scout Silver Award Project Proposal (fillable PDF) - after completion of a Cadette Journey and at least 30 days before they intend to put their plan into action to earn the Silver Award.

An individual Girl Scout or a project team (of up to four Girl Scouts per project) should work with their Girl Scout Adults to complete and submit one form per project.

Responses should reflect girl-led project planning using the Girl Scout Silver Award Project Proposal and the Cadette Workbook for Earning Your Silver Award.

Note: Girl Scout Adults are responsible for approving the start of the project by guiding girls to use the Project Proposal Form. Submission of this Intent Form with a copy of the Project Proposal including the signature(s) of Girl Scout Adult(s) serves as a notification to council staff that a girl or team of girls is working on an approved Silver Award project with the guidance of the Girl Scout Adult(s).
