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:
Interview with the media and attend press events.
Volunteer at Girl Scout booths at public events.
Participate in focus groups.
Write articles and shoot photos/videos.
Media Girls Requirements
- Be a Girl Scout registered for the current membership year
- 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.
Media Sprouts
Girl Scout Daisies & Brownies: Get started on your Girl Scout media experience by being available to attend official Girl Scout ceremonies, events, and media appearances as a Media Sprout alongside your Media Girl teammates. A parent or guardian should help you fill out an application.
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:
- Bringing you to Girl Scout or press events as needed
- Sharing your media initiatives on social media
- Refraining from posting negative comments on social media that will detract from your efforts to promote the benefits of Girl Scouting
