Approximately 73 people, including the girls of Cadette Troop 171, attended a motivational Silver Award Workshop on January 26 hosted by BJ Wood. The girls left the workshop excited about getting started on their Silver Award proposals. They were given a clear understanding of the scope of the undertaking though concrete examples. BJ got across the idea that this award will require work in a manner that was encouraging! She lead the girls through exercises that helped guide their thinking process in the right direction. BJ even gave the girls tips on how to transform an idea or a Service Project into a Silver Award Project.

BJ Wood said, "We have served about 180 girls thus far through our Silver Award workshops beginning in October of 2011 of which we have 92 girls in progress of completing their Silver Award. We also have 61 girls who have already completed their project and will be awarded their Silver Award this spring!"
