Girl Scouts Service Unit 8
What Do Local Troops Do for Service Projects?
Brownie Projects
Junior Projects
Shelter Ideas
A fundamental part of Girl Scouting is undertaking service projects in the community.
Service means doing something helpful without asking for or expecting a reward.
Through service projects girls can have fun, learn new skills and information and
provide assistance to others. Service projects may be an element of a try-it or
patch.
Projects should:
- stretch understanding beyond family and troop into a wider world
- teach the joy of giving of oneself rather than giving things
- help understand the feelings and needs of others (see Acceptance)
