How to Join the Team

GSNNJ Girl Scouts who exemplify courage, confidence, and character are invited to join our Media Girls Team. Open to Girl Scout Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors, these leaders will be the official girl faces and voices of our council. Media Girls receive special media training to be able to report on council and community events and share our stories with the Girl Scout community and the world. 

Media Girls are called upon to: 

Media Girls Team Requirements

• Be a Girl Scout registered for the current membership year (this program will span across two Girl Scout membership years, e.g., from January 2022 to January 2023).
• Attend team meetings.
• Attend media training.
• Submit at least four pieces of coverage throughout the year. 
  1. Your coverage should include two major Girl Scout events, one non-Girl Scout topic that is relevant to Girl Scouts, and one personal interest piece. 
  2. Your pieces should be multimedia for inclusion across our platforms—think about a video or photos to accompany a written article.
  3. You must quote at least one source in your pieces.
  4. Each event will have a submission deadline, typically about one week after the event, to ensure timely reporting. 

Note: each Media Girl must have a parent or responsible adult who is a Girl Scout member available to participate with them and commit to helping to:

• Share your media initiatives on social media.
• Bring you to Girl Scout or press events as needed.
