Girl Scout Service Projects
Take Action Projects
In Girl Scouts, girls take action to make the world a better place. They:
- Identify community needs.
- Work as resourceful problem-solvers.
- Educate and inspire others to act.
- Advocate for themselves and others, at home and around the world.
- Feel empowered to make a difference.
The most powerful component of the take action key is, not only do Girl Scouts themselves benefit as they grow in their leadership skills, but communities, the nation, and the world benefit as well. Taking action translates to making the world a better place.
