One of the most important lessons that we can teach our girls is the value of doing community service. They need to learn how to look beyond themselves to see the importance of helping others. This not only makes them a better person, but a better leader. And making girls into leaders is what Girl Scouts is all about.

Communities that have a large volunteer force are great places to live. There are many different ways to give service to the community. While donating money is a worthy thing to do, the hands-on approach is a better way to teach the girls about giving back to their communities. 

Before embarking on any service projects with your girls please read the section on Service Projects (page 43) in your Safety Wise Book.
