Discover how you can give back to make your community - and the world a better place. Girl Scouts always step up to do what they can to improve their communities and the world.
All across our country and our world, Girl Scouts are leaping to the aid of others by engaging in wonderful acts of service and kindness. Whether by writing letters to senior citizens, honoring first responders, taking part in a citizen science project, or promoting voting and democracy, now your troop can get involved in these unique Girl Scout activities too.

Girl Scout Tree Promise
Planting trees is a great way to become a steward of the environment. You and your troop can be a part of the Girl Scout Tree Promise, an initiative to plant five million trees in five years.
Honoring our Everyday Changemakers
Small acts of kindness and gratitude can have an incredible impact on your community! Girl Scouts can pay it forward by recognizing the people in their communities who have supported them in finding their unique paths.
Fighting Hunger
More than 50 million adults, kids, and families in the U.S. are experiencing food insecurity, a number that has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Girl Scouts can make a big difference in their communities— and for children around the world—by supporting hunger relief efforts.
Promote the Vote
Voting is arguably our most important civic duty—but barriers still exist. In many parts of the country, voting laws and protocols make it difficult for many people, especially people of color, to cast their votes in elections. There’s work to be done—and girls can play a part!
Citizen Science
How can you play a part in solving some of the biggest problems facing our planet? Enter citizen science, where volunteers help scientists collect data for their studies and experiments. Anyone can be a citizen scientist—all you need is curiosity and a willingness to help!
Letter Writing
The idea is simple: girls write letters to people in nursing homes, senior residences, and assisted living facilities, including the dedicated staff and caregivers. This longdistance hug is a way to share your good thoughts with these vulnerable and loved community members.
Cupid Crew Cards for Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity for you and your troop to reach out and show others that you care— especially those who may be alone on a day that’s all about connection!
