interesting things but also contains information, which may be
wrong, out of date, or might upset some people. Please
either print this page, or high-light the Safety Pledge below,
copy and paste it into another program like Word or Excel, then
print it. Go over the page with your parent or guardians, sign

For Leaders:
Community Service is a very important aspect of Girl Scouts.
IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMUNITY SERVICE IDEAS TO SHARE, PLEASE CONTACT THE WEBSITE MANAGER TO HAVE THEM POSTED HERE!!
NEW!! September 2010 - National Public Lands Day - a possible Community Service project for troops. Check out this website to see the different ways Girl Scouts can get involved & register their project!
Ongoing - Here's a possible Community Service project for troops. It would involve two different ways to help the homeless. The Catholic church is gathering shampoo & bar soap (trial size or hotel giveaways only) and laundry soap (smallest size possible) for use at FISH’s laundry & shower facilities. Also, there is a need for people to make “Buddy Burners,” which are candle-type burners used for light & heat. If you would like to participate or donate, please contact Natalie (desertrat4ever@frontiernet.net) for more info.
If you would be interested in collecting pop tabs to benefit the Ronald
McDonald House of Salt Lake City, you may get an ice cream bucket from
Shirley King. Fill the bucket up and your troop will get ice cream!
Genevieve worked on her Bronze
Award to promote the awareness of the RMHC and how important it is to those
in our community.
Horizon Hospice is always in need of cheer-up cards. Your troop can make a
difference by simply making Cards for these terminally ill people. Make them
cheerful and write a little something about yourself. These cards should not
be themed with a holiday, nor should they say Get Well Soon.
Spring Creek Service Unit could use some service with planning a fun day for
Daisy and Brownie Recruitment and Events. When it comes to Community Service
don’t forget the home base! We need help too!
