Service Projects

Information is good, but it’s even better if you share it with others so that they too can begin to understand the importance of making informed choices at this critical stage of their lives. The activities in this section will help you share your newfound knowledge and skills with others who may have need of it.

You must do one activity from this section.

1) An important part of planning for the future beyond high school is graduating from high school. Become involved with, or start, a peer mentoring group or tutoring group to help others achieve the goal of graduation day.

2) Help to set up a Careers and Education Panel for students at your school or other Senior Girl Scouts. This could involve a panel discussion for students to attend, a network of adults willing to consult and advise others who are interested in their fields, or another format of your choice. Members of the panel should represent a wide range of interests, and be willing to talk about their professional responsibilities, choices, and career and educational paths. Make this resource available to others.

3) Girl Scouts doesn’t end with high school. Interview a Campus Girl Scout about her/his participation and activities. (Use the CGS Council Finder to see if there’s a group near you, or contact the Campus Girl Scouts Information Center to set up an electronic interview with someone.) If this is not possible, interview an appropriate council staff member about opportunities in your council and beyond for young adult volunteers and Campus Girl Scouts in particular. Share this information with other Senior Girl Scouts in your council.

4) Create an attractive visual display for your high school guidance office, school library, or local library about the options available for high school graduates to obtain further education. Arrange to display it.
