Interview with the media and attend press events.
Media Girls
We are looking for 15 GSNNJ Girl Scouts who ooze courage, confidence, and character 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 will be the official girl faces and voices of our council. Girls will 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 will be called upon to:
Volunteer at Girl Scout booths at public events.
Participate in focus groups.
Write articles and shoot photos/videos.
Note: a parent or responsible adult who is a Girl Scout
member must be willing to participate with you and commit to
helping to:
- Share your media initiatives on social media.
- Bring
you to Girl Scout or press events as needed.

- Submit at least four pieces of
coverage throughout the year.
