Media Scouts | Girl Scouts

Develop your public speaking skills, learn to utilize social media safely, and find your voice.

Our Media Scouts are a special interest group open to Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. Girl Scouts participating in this program will receive special training in all things media, so they can report on council and community events, and share stories with their community and the world.

Media Scouts will serve as the faces and voices of our council in various media outlets.
