Girl Scouts Southeast Florida Honors 66 Young Changemakers

Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida celebrated the remarkable achievements of 66 Girl Scouts from across the region who earned the prestigious Silver Award during the 6th Annual Silver Award Showcase. The Silver Award is the highest recognition attainable by Girl Scout Cadettes in grades six through eight that highlights the innovative and impactful projects these young leaders develop to address pressing community needs.

Girl Scouts are challenged with identifying an issue, developing a solution, and working collaboratively to implement meaningful change. In 2024, these awardees made lasting impacts across 20 local nonprofits, 12 schools, three municipalities, and countless lives – from students and senior citizens to animals. Each project exemplifies the spirit of girl scouting: fostering resilience, leadership, and a commitment to community improvement.

"Our Silver Award Girl Scouts have each shown that change is not only possible but starts with those who have the determination to make a difference," said Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida. "These young leaders are building a better tomorrow with innovative projects that impact lives today. We couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, thoughtfulness, and resilience each Girl Scout has demonstrated through their hard work.”
