REQUIRED SILVER AWARD TRAINING REMINDER:
Prior to submitting this proposal the adult volunteers and the Girl Scout team members who will be named on this Silver Award proposal must have completed the GSNYPENN Council required Silver Award Training on gsLearn. There are two separate trainings; one for adults and one for Cadettes.
The required Council Silver Award trainings on gsLearn are in the format of a slideshow with an acknowledgement form at the end. They take about 15-20 minutes to complete. There is also an optional GSUSA Silver Award video series on gsLearn - this is not the Council training. The Council training for adults is called "169 Volunteer/Caregiver Silver Award Training" and the training for Cadettes is called "169 Cadette Girl Scout Silver Award Training".
Adult volunteers and parents/caregivers can access both adult and Cadette Silver Award trainings on gsLearn*, or a Cadette (age 13 and older) can request youth gsLearn access to complete the Silver Award training by completing this form.
At the end of the training there is an acknowledgement form to complete and submit. This is how we know you have completed the training. If we do not have your form you have not completed the training.
*Adults - sign into your msgs account, then click on gsLearn. Once in gsLearn the Silver Award trainings can be found by clicking the green button labled "see all assigned courses and learning paths" and then scrolling down to "169 Highest Awards Training for Volunteers and Youth Members". Click on that, and then click on the appropriate Silver Award Cadette or adult training. Note: if you have never signed into gsLearn before it may take up to 24 hours for the course to appear.
If anyone named on this proposal has not completed the appropriate Council Silver Award training do not submit this proposal. Each person (except project advisor) named on a Silver Award proposal must have completed the approprite GSNYPENN training within the last 9 months. We will verify and if we have no record you will be asked to complete this requirement before the proposal can be reviewed.
If you have not taken the training, but already decided on your project, it is highly recommended you reevaluate your project after the training to ensure it meets the requirements of a Take Action project and is not just community service.
If you have questions about the Silver Award training requirement or need help accessing a training on gsLearn please email: info@gsnypenn.org or call (800) 943-4414, option 2 to speak with customer service.
