What are Campus Girl Scouts?
Campus Girl Scouts (CGS) was first established in 1920 to support
groups of college students who wanted to make an impact on their
community through Girl Scouting. 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. Campus Girl Scouts is an organization based around
community service, leadership, and Girl Scouting.
Why should YOU join Campus Girl Scouts?
It helps you…
DISCOVER new places and people in your community
CONNECT with other students on your college campus
TAKE ACTION in your community and change a girl’s life
forever
which will help you develop
LEADERSHIP skills that will last a lifetime!!
Who can join Campus Girl Scouts?
Campus Girl Scouts is open to college students, 18 years and
older, who are registered at a university, college, institute, or
community college that prepares students for 2 or 4-year degrees.
Campus Girl Scouts are not required to have been previously
registered as a Girl Scout and because the members are adult Girl
Scouts, men are welcome to join. Each chapter or council can
establish its own rules for becoming a Campus Girl Scout, but the
following items are two base rules required for all Campus Girl
Scout members:
• Members are willing to nationally register as a Girl Scout.
• Members are willing to uphold the ideas and standards of the Girl
Scout Law.
What do Campus Girl Scouts do?
Campus Girl Scouts do anything you can think of: volunteer at
council sponsored events, serve as troop leaders in their community,
volunteer as trainers within their council, plan and facilitate
events for girls of all age levels, put together statewide events
for Girl Scouts, recruit college students to volunteer with Girl
Scouts, and much more. Campus Girl Scouts are adult volunteers
organized in a social network to utilize campus opportunities and
make lifelong friends while in school.
Where can you get involved?
