TIP: While you help, think about how these things correspond to the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
Kindness Challenge – Record a get-well video to brighten some one’s day. Include your first
name, troop number and a get-well-soon message. You could even include
instructions for a fun game (that can be played in bed) or some jokes.
Say thank you – Be creative and make a thank
you card for anyone who is on the “front lines” helping keep
everyone safe or supplied. Check Pinterest for card-making
ideas! Remember to
check if the organization will accept the physical copy by mail or
if you should scan/email instead.
Combat
loneliness by writing a letter, creating a story, or drawing a
picture – Send to
assisted living facilities, hospitals, residential treatment centers
for kids or other similar organizations. Remember
to check if the organization will accept the physical copy by mail
or if you should scan/email instead . Check out some online sources to get you started.
Stay connected by video
chatting – Check in
with relatives, your troop, friends, etc. Social distancing doesn’t
have to mean emotional distancing! You could even have a movie night
via a digital connection or play a game. For example; one person
describes a word (without using the actual word) to the other
person, while they try to draw it based on the description given!
Spread Kindness &
Inspirational Messages – Share uplifting stories or
positive affirmations on social media or directly with your family
and friends.
National Mask-Making Service Project – Earn the new #GirlScoutsGiveBack Patch for serving the community as part of the national service projects initiative.
Write a letter, send a card or make a
video message for seniors. Check out a local organization – La Loma Village.
