Girl Scout Silver Award When Girl Scout Cadettes focus on an issue they care about, learn the facts, and take action to make a difference, they gain the confidence and skills that will catapult them to lifelong success. It all adds up to the Girl Scout Silver Award—the highest honor a Cadette can achieve.
Silver Award Spotlight: Troop 8240 Abigail and Cheran of Troop 8240 saw a need at Sheppard Elementary School, a military school where students are constantly facing changes in their every time their family moves. This means that academic gaps occur, and it is noticeable in reading. The school librarian, Ms. Sherron Williamson, helped students learn to love reading. Abigail and Cheran wanted a safe place where reading could take place and students would feel comfortable. The Dedicated Book Box and Memorial Bench was the perfect solution. The Dedicated Book Box will continually provide books for military families. The bench has been dedicated in memory of Ms. Williamson, who passed away due to COVID-19. The bench allows her memory and love of reading to be passed on by providing joy and a safe reading space for students.
