More Activities for Girl Scouts Community Service - Girl Scouts for the Cure
In October, we celebrate Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday and life while recognizing the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many areas will be hosting their own unique Girl Scouts for the Cure event that will guide girls in earning the Think Pink! patch as they learn about the importance of healthy living through interactive games and activities, complete with a service project. The age-appropriate activities around breast health and awareness are presented in a way that gives girls the tools to feel empowered about taking care of their body while having fun. To download the Girl Scouts for the Cure event module, visit www. nccoastalpines.org > Volunteers > Service Unit Teams > Service Unit Teams Roles and Resources > Area Event Director > Event Director Modules > Girl Scouts for a Cure. For more information about these events and where they will be offered, reach out to the Program Team at programteam@nccoastalpines.org.
National Service Project - Girl Scout Tree Promise
In partnership with the Elliott Wildlife Values Project, American Forests, and Johnson & Johnson Foundation, Girl Scouts are launching a bold tree planting and conservation initiative. Girl Scouts across the country are setting out to plant five million trees by 2026, and to protect and honor new and existing trees. Not only is this great for wildlife, it will also help ease the effects of climate change. Join in on our newest national service project by planting a tree and making an impact in your local community. Planting trees is a great way to become a steward of the environment. Trees provide places for animals and birds to live, reduce pollutants, filter water, and combat climate change. Plus—you and your troop can be a part of the Girl Scout Tree Promise, an initiative to plant five million trees in five years. Girl Scouts can make an enormous global impact by participating in this environmental and conservation initiative. Once you’ve participated, purchase the Tree Promise patch (new each year) by contacting the retail shops.
