Girl Scouting never stops! While your family practices social
distancing, girls can take part in virtual and at home programming
while keeping safe. Not a Girl Scout (yet)? That's ok! We want you to
join in too, and when you're ready, you can sign up for Girl Scouts to keep the adventure
going!
Here are some resources to help you!

It's an easy way to keep everyone engaged and on track.

Community Service
From educating communities about
food production and selling Treasury Bonds during WWI and the Spanish
flu pandemic to planting victory gardens and training in first aid
during WWII, Girl Scouts have always stepped up in times of need, and
our current COVID-19 crisis is no different. All across our country
and our world, Girl Scouts have leapt to the aid of others by engaging
in wonderful acts of service and kindness.
Check out GSUSA’s National Service Projects for ways to
serve your community during the pandemic.
What can you do to make the world a better place during this challenging time?
