Congratulations, Girl Scouts!
Earning the Silver Award is no easy feat any year, but this year we celebrate 56 New York City Girl Scouts who persevered through remarkable circumstances to make an impact during a time the world needed it most.
Here at Girl Scouts of Greater New York, we strive to support Girl Scouts in building courage, confidence, and character, and in making the world a better place. The remarkable young people we celebrate this evening are shining examples of these ideals.

The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn.
Through the process of earning the Silver Award, Girl Scouts develop leadership skills by researching, planning, and implementing a 50-hour Take Action project that addresses an issue of their choice. The commitment, confidence, and skills these Girl Scouts displayed has put them on the path to Gold Award success.
Yours in Girl Scouting, Meridith Maskara Chief Executive Officer

Girl Scouting’s highest awards program gives girls unique opportunities to reach out to others in need, both locally and globally. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards are the highest honors Girl Scouts can receive and are a currency of this investment, representing her chance to make a difference for people in areas such as social services, healthcare, education, and any number of other arenas. Girls begin to know themselves better and realize what they’re capable of doing, explore the world, and connect with others in their community on a deeper level.
