Community Service
Girl Scouts promise "to help people at all times". Girl Scout leaders work with girls to teach them to be active and responsible citizens in the community. Older girls develop leadership skills by working with younger girls to complete service projects. Here's a sample of service projects where the girls made a difference in someone's life.
Guild Consignment
The Guild Consignment shop distributes clothing and other items to shelters such as Father Bills, Interfaith Clothes Closet, and Quincy Teen Mom's. In February and again in June, they need volunteers to help organize and distribute. This is a very rewarding service project. Contact Gail Shields at the Guild Consignment Shop to get involved. 781-749-8000.
