Girl Scout Influencer

The Girl Scout Influencer Program lets you share your unique experiences through photos, videos, blogs, and other digital content. It’s an exciting way to hone your digital storytelling skills while showcasing your favorite Girl Scout activities. Whether you love capturing the perfect shot, telling stories through videos, or sharing your Girl Scout experiences, this program provides the tools and platform to help you shine. Plus, it gives you the freedom to prepare, create, and share content like a true influencer.

Eligibility

Must be a Junior – Ambassador
Have a smartphone or digital camera. (Girls are required to use their personal devices as a Girl Scout Influencer.)

What will you do as an Influencer?

Girl Scout Influencers will be sharing a firsthand glimpse at what happens during a Girl Scout program through digital content, like videos, pictures, blogs, and more.

As a Girl Scout Influencer, you'll take charge of:

Crafting your Girl Scout story and sharing it with the community
Honing your photography and video skills
Speaking confidently in front of a camera
Creating meaningful content
Connecting with other Girl Scouts
Getting a taste of what it’s like to be an influencer
Having fun and learning along the way!

What content should I gather?

That’s entirely up to you! You’re required to submit at least one piece of digital content, along with a short written recap within seven days of your program. The digital content can be a video or photos, but if writing an article or blog post about your experience is more your style, feel free to do that—just be sure to include a few pictures to accompany your story. What we’re really looking to gather is content made by girls for girls. Have a few friends at the program? Get together and record a fun dance. Show us a behind-the-scenes of what it takes to earn a badge. Snap some photos to show us what you’re working on or what you’re learning during your program. The possibilities are endless!

We fully encourage you to get creative during this process! Please be mindful of the program and other Girl Scouts who are there to learn and enjoy. This opportunity should not take away from the program experience.

Content could be featured in LOTS of places, including:

Social Media
GSDH’s website
Email communications
Printed materials (flyers, brochures, postcards, etc.)
Signage for GSDH’s properties
External advertising
