Community Service
Community Service has long been a core value of Girl Scouts and a cornerstone in its leadership development program for girls. It reflects the Girl Scout Promise” to help people at all times” and “make the world a better place”. In fact, community service represents one of the three keys (Discover – Connect – Take Action) to leadership in the new Girl Scout Leadership Experience – Take Action!
Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida has a rich tradition of addressing community needs and empowering girls to make a difference. From Council-wide community service projects to service unit, troop or individual projects, Girl Scouts are taking action to improve their communities.
•Girls can choose projects that reflect their own interests and work as individuals or as a group.
•Adult volunteers coach girls on identifying local needs they care about while guiding the girls on reflecting what they are learning.
•Community service projects must adhere to all Safety-Wise standards.
