 Are
you enrolled in a college, junior college, university, or vocational
or technical school? Do you want to meet new people, develop new
interests, participate in community service, learn marketable skills,
acquire valuable job experience, and serve as a role model for girls
in a volunteer setting that lets YOU choose your level of involvement?
Consider joining Campus Girl Scouts, an ideal way to learn and grow
outside of the classroom. Find the location nearest you in our Campus
Girl Scouts Directory.
What
Do Campus Girl Scouts Do?
Campus Girl
Scouts do just about anything — as long as it upholds the Girl
Scout Promise and Law. They provide an impressive array of services
at school, in their community, in their local Girl Scout council,
and with girls, including (but certainly not limited to):
- Event planning
- Girl Scout troop/group sponsorship
- Program consulting
- Project management
- Public relations
- Troop/group leadership
- Campus tutoring
- Task group and committee membership
- Recruitment activities
- Fund development
- Clerical work
- Mentoring
Whether you
want to coordinate a health and fitness fair, run a science workshop,
develop a Web site, help publish council or service area newsletters,
be a troop/group leader, mentor teens, or contribute in some other
way, you can help girls grow strong!

How
Much Time Is Involved?
Devote as much
time as you want. YOU decide on a level of involvement that works
for you. Campus Girl Scouts have many other commitments and their
level of involvement may vary from semester to semester and from
student to student. Some students may have the time to be troop/group
leaders, while others may be able to make valuable short-term commitments,
such as helping to plan ceremonies for Girl Scout Gold Award recipients
or running a Brownie Girl Scout Try-It day.

Starting
a Campus Girl Scout Group
The move to
initiate a Campus Girl Scout group can come from any of three sources:
Students.
At the school, students who want to continue their involvement
in Girl Scouting and are willing to recruit other adult volunteers
from their campus can follow these steps:
- Check the Campus Girl Scout Directory to make sure that a group
doesn't already exist at the school.
- If the school is not listed, go to the Girl
Scout Council Finder to get contact information for the council
that covers the area where the school is located.
- Approach the council to express interest in starting a group.
The School.
A school can contact its local Girl Scout council to form a campus
group on behalf of students interested in an organization that provides
opportunity to serve and have fun.
The Local
Girl Scout Council. To promote interest in forming Campus Girl
Scout groups, a Girl Scout council can contact faculty or students
at institutions of higher learning in its area.
