​RESEARCH, EXPERTISE & SKILLS

  • ​​ Did they do enough research to become knowledgeable about their issue?
  •  Did they consult with experts/agencies already working with their issue?
  • Do they have the skills to complete the project? Use badges to build skills – public speaking, web design, etc.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Do the Girl Scout's seem excited by this project?  If not, have a discussion about changing directions
  • Need to start over or change directions? Utilize the book & the planning tools on this website.
  • Busy schedules - Make sure the Girl Scout's have a good plan to work on projects remotely - do research online, post info into Google docs, share resources.
    Mixed troop groups – make sure other adults agree then share adult contact information.
  • Never finish? Only required if they want to do the Highest Award.  It is a good test of their commitment.  The Higher Award will be more work.

​LEADERSHIP BUILDING

  • ​Does each Girl Scout have a clear role and voice within the project?
  • Does it challenge them by getting them out of their comfort zone?
  • Does it utilize each Girl Scout's strengths?
  • Do they delegate some tasks rather than doing all the work themselves?
  • Can the Girl Scout's clearly describe what they are planning using elevator speech?​ 

​TIME MANAGEMENT

  • ​Will this project work within the context of your troop and the Girl Scout's schedule & lives?
  • Is the time line for the project realistic?  Start with the month they want to start on Silver (for Cadettes) or Gold (for Seniors) Award & work backwards.
