Take a Girl Scout to Work Day - Spring Break!

Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast is hosting several opportunities for Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts to visit with local professional women to learn about their occupation. Each mentoring experience will take place in the morning and be done prior to lunch. Specific details will be coordinated once the girls have been selected to participate.

Each high school girl selected for this program will be representing our Council and is expected to be in full Girl Scout dress uniform, white shirt with a khaki skirt or pants and their current vest or sash. We expect each event to be covered by our marketing team and, in some instance, by the marketing team at the business. Therefore, girls must have written permission to attend and a current media release.

The goal of this program is to match each girl up with a professional who is in a field of study they are interested in pursuing. Each girl must submit a paragraph of interest (no more than 250 words) to philanthropy@gsccc.org by Wednesday, March 28, 2018, addressing the following questions:

• Where would you like to visit? 
• Why are you interested in participating in this particular shadowing experience? 
• How does it align with your career goals or aspirations? 

Each girl or group of girls must be accompanied by a registered Girl Scout adult. Girls and adult chaperones will be notified on Thursday, March 29.
