Community Service
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Community Service has long been a major focus of Girl Scouts. To help you to find ways to make the world a better place, we have designed the Community Service page.
"Operation: Cookie"continues to deliver Girl Scout cookies to our military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan . Once again, DHL provides the personnel and equipment to ensure that our cargo of Girl Scout Cookies arrive safely and quickly. Thanks to all who have supported this program in the past, and remember that there is still time to donate.

Sign up online to recycle common items through Terracycle. Once you've registered at their website, (download the flyer for more details) you will receive all the information and materials you need to help them to turn what would become trash, into trendy consumer items.
Playing Online to Feed the Hungry
Visit the website FreeRice.com to play an online knowledge challenge game, in a variety of subjects, from vocabulary to math to geography. For every correct answer, 10 grains of rice will be donated to the UN World Food Program. We know that Girl Scouts possess a plethora of erudition. Put it to good use.
