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, this team of Go-getters,
Innovators, Risk-Takers, and Leaders are 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:
Volunteer at Girl Scout booths at public events.
Participate in focus groups.
Write articles and shoot photos/videos.
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 2021 to January 2022).
- Attend team meetings.
- Attend media training.
- Submit at least
four pieces of coverage throughout the year.
- 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.
- Your pieces should be multimedia for inclusion across our platforms—think about a video or photos to accompany a written article.
- You must quote at least one source in your pieces.
- 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.
