Campus Girl Scouts have many diverse roles in Girl Scouting based on their group’s goals and their Girl Scout Council. Campus Girl Scouts have served many purposes in Girl Scouting including being role models, planning events, leading troops, and bringing younger voices into their local councils.

Get Real! Mentoring Program

The Get Real! Mentoring Program is a special Girl Scout Program offered by Councils across Florida. The Florida Panhandle Get Real! program is a special way for girls to have one on one mentoring, and become a Girl Scout.

The mission of the Get Real! program is to impact school performance and attendance of at risk middle school girls, by increasing their motivation and ability to make positive life choices, with the help from caring community members serving as the girl’s mentors. Get Real! promotes reading and writing opportunities to help improve literacy skills.

• This Girl Scouting program was inspired as a part of the Governor’s Mentoring Initiative.
• Girls are volunteer participants and parent permission is required.
• Small Group Sessions are based on a 30-week program, alternating weekly between small group discussions and individual mentoring.



YOU can be a mentor.
Mentors are people who come from all social, economic and educational backgrounds. Mentors have one thing in common; commitment to making a difference in the life of a child.

Mentors ARE NOT a parent substitute, an authority figure, baby sitter, disciplinarian, therapist, or a judge.

Interested in the Get Real! program as a mentor or signing your daughter up? Contact Jocelyn Hayes at (800) 876-9704 or jhayes@gscfp.org.
