GSNNJ Media Team Application
Meet the Media Team
GSNNJ Girl Scouts who exemplify courage, confidence, and character are invited to join our Media Team. Open to Girl Scout Daisies through Ambassadors, these leaders are the official girl faces and voices of our council. Media Team members 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.
The Media Team meets one Tuesday evening per month at the Girl Scout DreamLab in Paramus (from 5:30-7:00 PM), November through June, with a variety of opportunities to attend public appearances, speaking engagements, media interviews, content creation workshops, and other leadership assignments throughout the year.
The Media Team will be called upon to:
Interview with the media, attend press events, and learn podcasting.
Volunteer at and report from Girl Scout public events.
Participate in focus groups.
Write articles, take photos, and create videos.
Media Team 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.
Note For Parents
Parents/Guardians: Each Media Team member and Media Sprout must have a parent, guardian, or responsible adult (who is a GSNNJ Girl Scout member) available to them to help them participate in this program. These adults must commit to:
- Bringing their girl to Girl Scout events or press opportunities as needed
- Sharing her media initiatives on social media
- Refraining from posting negative comments on social media that will detract from her efforts to promote the benefits of Girl Scouting
