Local Girl Scouts raise money for homeless care packages
Girl Scouts have used the first aid skills they've learned to save lives.
They've also contributed to their communities by starting troops for homeless girls and fundraising for charity.
Since the Girl Scouts were founded in 1912, their slogan has been "Do a good turn daily." Aside from earning badges and selling cookies, Girl Scouts engage in community service, using the skills they learn to help make the world a better place.
A 2012 Alumnae Impact Study from the Girl Scout Research Institute found that Girl Scout alumnae display a more positive sense of self, are more involved in community service, and are more successful in achieving their life goals than those who didn't participate in the program.
Here are six examples of Girl Scouts putting these values into practice.
