Engage to Make a Change Challenge

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Engage to Make a Change Challenge asks Girl Scouts to complete a service project that best helps their community. Girls are challenged to think of the best ways they can create positive change in their own hometowns. The goal is to learn more about the local community, engage in opportunities to volunteer, and to create positive change. This project will run from Janurary 8 - April 8, 2024.

Birthday Bags Service Project

Girl Scouts' founder, Juliette Gordon Low, has a birthday in October! In her honor, we are challenging Girl Scouts with a new council-wide community service project - Birthday Bags!

This service project encourages Girl Scouts to spread cheer by making it easier for everyone in the community to celebrate birthdays. A birthday is a big deal! It’s a day for looking forward to the upcoming year of exciting opportunities and celebrating that you are you. We want to share that excitement by letting people know we are thinking of them on their birthday.  This project will begin on October 1 and end on October 31, which is Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday. Make fun memories and create a meaningful impact through this service project!
