Background
Campus Girl Scouting is a branch of the Girl Scout Movement established to provide service to Girl Scout councils and to girls. Campus Girl Scouting has been existence since the 1920's. Today in the U.S. there are over 1,300 young adults volunteering their time and talents to serving girls through Campus Girl Scouts.
Membership
In order to be a Campus Girl Scout, students are required to:
Attend a college, university, junior college, vocational or technical school, or other institution of higher learning
Believe in the principles of Girl Scouting
Be a registered member of Girl Scouts
Students register as individual adult members of the Girl Scout movement. Previous membership in Girl Scouting is NOT required.
Meetings
Campus Girl Scouting is very flexible. Meeting schedules and time are determined by group consensus. Also, the time each student commits is an individual decision. Some may be involved weekly or bimonthly, while others may help with annual or semi-annual events.
What Campus Girl Scouting is All About
Campus Girl Scouting is part of the world's preeminent organization, dedicated solely to girls. In Girl Scouting, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives like strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. Through Campus Girl Scouts, college students work with the Girl Scout council to provide resources to girls. Campus Girl Scouts derive benefits as well, such as the chance to give back to the community, personal growth, and a wider circle of friends and contacts.
Campus Girl Scouts provide support to girls through service they provide to the council. The following are examples of some of the areas in which group members may become involved:
- Troop leadership
- Events planning
- Program consulting
- Public Relations
- Council committees
- Sharing skills/expertise
- Recruitment activities
- Fund development
- Camping/outdoor events
- Mentoring programs
If you would like to begin a Campus Girl Scout group at your college/university.
