Community Service Partner Guide

Overview

Community service is an integral part of being a Girl Scout, providing girls with an opportunity to practice teamwork, build critical thinking skills, and empowering them to make changes in their community. What better way for girls to learn cooperation and build friendships than working together to accomplish a single goal. Sharing their time and resources helps girls increase their self-esteem and civic responsibility. By partnering together, we can help Girl Scouts in grades K-12 discover new things about themselves and their communities, connect with those around them and take action to make the world a better place. Community Service Partnerships with Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri run on an annual basis from January 1-December 31. Renewal applications are due by December 1; however, new applications are accepted year-round.

As a Community Service Partner, you can: • Help girls explore their interests, enjoy service opportunities, build lasting memories and feel empowered to make a difference in the world • Promote your organization and the work you do to Girl Scouts and their families across 28 counties through Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri’s website and biannual publications. • Partner with the largest organization in the world dedicated to leadership development for today’s girls and tomorrow’s leaders
