Thank you for volunteering your time and providing the girls in our service unit with events and program opportunities. Planning a service unit event requires organization, planning, and determination!
Your Service Unit Team are available to support you through this process. The Importance of Service Unit Events Benefits of Service Unit Events 1. They are fun ways to show girls they belong to a big sisterhood. 2. They inspire girls to continue growing through Girl Scouts. 3. They create stronger connections with Girl Scout families. 4. They provide a great opportunity to include teen Girl Scouts in planning and hosting events. This gives them the opportunity to be leaders and role models. Build a Team Reach out to volunteers and parents to see how they might be able to help. Invite people to share their skills, location space, time and ideas with the planning committee. Planning service unit events can enrich the experience for Girl Scouts in your area and empower them to become more involved in every aspect of Girl Scouts. How to Partner With Girls Why do we have service unit events? For the girls! So naturally a very important part of planning an event is getting girls’ ideas on what they want the event to look like. How do you do this? Here are a few ways girls can partner with adults while planning events: • Girls can help choose events. Include the girls in choosing the type or theme of event. Before planning goes on, it is important to find out • Girls can help plan the event and can help put a budget together. • Girls can communicate the event to the rest of the service unit by creating flyers distributing them, and answering any questions regarding the event. • Girls can shop for event materials with the money budgeted. • They also can help in the actual set-up of the event. During the event they can run the stations and then help with the cleanup. • They can help finalize paperwork from the event and report the evaluations.
