Paperwork

Today's meeting was completely devoted to finishing up official Silver Award paperwork.  We all finished writing around eight responses discussing what we did for our project, and how we felt we made a difference.  We answered questions such as "How did you reach outside the Girl Scout community?"  To that particular question, we answered... you guys!  All you readers out there, you are the ones who we reached out to outside the Girl Scout community!  We also presented our pro-peace workshop to kids at a local library, further getting our project out to those not in the Girl Scout community.  We are having our leaders sign off on our forms today, and then we are sending them in.  It's all really coming together; once we get our forms in, the next step is: Silver Award!  We're almost there, guys, and we're really excited!

Step 5: Pick Your Take Action Project

The fifth step on the Silver Award Pyramid is "Pick your take action project."  Well, you're looking at ours!  This step probably took us the most time out of all our steps.  For the longest time, we couldn't figure out how to verbalize all of our ideas into a simple project that people could relate to.  We actually thought of three different projects: a blog, a podcast, and a pro-peace presentation.  We started out with the blog, but then we thought that we should do all we could to spread our message: so now, we are actively working on all three projects.  The blog is almost done, and we hope that all those who see our presentation will check out our activities and posts, as well!
