What is Take Action Girls will create and carry out a Take Action project with every Journey they complete Girl Scout Bronze Silver and Gold Awards all require Take Action projects

Overview of Take Action Take Action projects are different from community service projects Take Action elevates projects A Take Action project is a chance for girls to partner with others in their community to solve a problem They learn about getting to the root causes of issues mobilizing and engaging community members and volunteers and striving toward creating lasting change in their world An important component is to understand amp address the cause of a problem

Community Service-comes from the heart lService is a passive role where you help out on something that is already in place l Major decisions have been made and you are following some elsersquos directions l Collecting and donating itemsndasha onetime fix of a problem l Beautificationrenovation without an educational or awareness raising component

Take Action project-comes from the heart but uses the head to develop long lasting impact l Leadership puts girls in an active role of decision making l Girls create a Take Action project based on their observations of a local issue l Tackle the root cause of this issue to make a long lasting impact so project is sustainable l Girls develop their leadership skills by exploring their community brainstorming planning organizing and putting their plan in motion

What is the difference between Journey Take Action Projects and higer awards Take Action Projects The only difference is the Journey Take Action Project is issue specific the project must relate to the Journey and what the girls have learned It can be completed as a Troop but each girl needs a leadership role

The following are two examples of Take Action projects that are sustainable These are

also included in the girl guidelines

Take Action Project 1

Problem Kids canrsquot walk to school safely because there arenrsquot any sidewalks

Root cause Lack of planning when the roads were built

Solution with long-term impact Create a petition asking that a sidewalk be built

get local residents to sign it and present it to the city council

Making the solution sustainable

bull Once the sidewalk is built it will be in place for years offering a safe route for

future generations

bull You may need to encourage kids to change their habits and walkmdashthat can be a

fun group activity


Problem Children in homeless shelters often struggle in school

Root cause Lack of stability and family resources both financial and emotional

Solution with long-term impact Work with a local homeless shelter and school to

establish an ongoing tutoring program that matches student volunteers with children in

the shelter

to coordinate the program

potential new student volunteers can meet current volunteers and people in the

homeless shelter

issue This person can be the team or individual girlrsquos project advisor

Discuss who might work best this could be someone they met while researching

issues or someone they have not yet met but who is familiar with their issue Offer

suggestions a local business owner an official at City Hall a teacher

Making a Global Connection

Encourage girls to check the Internet to see how others around the globe deal with

their issue Encourage girls to consider how they might be able to extend the reach of

their project into other communities besides their own Are there ways to share their

plan with other communities who are facing the same issue Can the girls create a

plan that other people could use to replicate their project in other communities

Through connecting with new friends outside of their immediate community girls learn

how others have solved similar issues and determine if the ideas of others can help

with their plan

Step 7 Make a Plan and Put it Into Motion

when the tasks need to be completed using their Make a Plan chart

address challenges work cooperatively with their team and stay open to new

ways of work

What NOT To Do for the Girl Scout Silver Award

Find a project online that someone else did and copy it You should be finding a problem in your community that needs improvements and develop your own project to fix it

Put a few small projects together to make up the hours The Silver Award is one complete project not a set of smaller projects combined

Work as a whole Troop on one project There is a maximum of 4 girls working on a project for the Silver Award

Put together a project that is a fundraiser to donate money to an organization This is not allowed for the Girl Scout Silver Award

Plan a project that is less than 50 hours per girl minimum Silver Award projects are targeted at 50 hours per girl and you must plan for that amount The 50 hours includes the Girl Scout Silver Award Guideline work to come up with your project idea

Set up a project where you show no leadership Each girl needs to be responsible for one specific piece of the project to gain leadership skills In group projects there will be some overlap hours but each girl needs a leadership role with her own specific hours

Plan a project that is just collecting and donating items to an organization Collecting and donating is a great SERVICE project but it is not to be used for the Silver Award Take Action Project

The Silver Award is earned by completing a Take Action Project where you discover an issue or need in your community that you work on to improve

When the Pre-Requisites are completed what do you do nextbull Each girl needs to work in the Girl Scout Silver Award Guidelines for Cadettes to develop their Silver Award project idea and plan bull Keep a detailed ldquoHour Logrdquo of all time spent on the work you do in the Guidelines Booklet This will count toward your total project hours

General Guidelines - Can be found in detail in the Girl Scout Silver Award Guidelines for Cadettes

Girl Scout Silver Award Steps1 Build your Girl Scout Cadette Team bull Decide to go solo OR bull Team of 4 or less- each girl needs to be responsible for one specific aspect of the project

2 50 Hour project bull Group projects need to contribute at minimum 50 hours per girl toward the project There may be some over lap hours but each girl needs to log her independent work

3 Explore your community bull Become detectives and create an observation list of problems in your community

4 Choose your Girl Scout Silver Award Take Action Project bull Define your issue bull Ask ldquowhyrdquo this issue is happening to find the root cause you wish to work on to improve the world around you

5 Develop your Take Action Project bull Answer the questions in the Guideline booklet for this step pg 8

6 Make a plan bull What is your solution bull Who is your audience bull Who can you partner with in the community to help with the project bull Where will it take place bull When (create a timeline) bull Think of ways to make this project carry on (Make the project sustainable)

Sustainable - At the Cadette level to achieve the sustainability component you need to create and implement a plan which will allow the project to carry on without you but if it doesnrsquot become a reality itrsquos ok As you advance to earning your Gold Award you will make a solid plan for your Gold Award project to carry on

7 Put your plan in motionbull Create a list of tasks and deadlinesbull If you are working in a team figure out which component of the project you will lead bull Continue to keep a detailed ldquoHour Logrdquobull Time to get busy
