Community Service Community service is an integral part of being a Girl Scout, providing girls with an opportunity to practice teamwork, build critical-thinking skills and empower them to make changes in their community. Sharing their time and resources helps girls increase their self-esteem and civic responsibility. Through participating in programs like April Showers, Journey Take Action projects or by earning a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver or Gold Award, girls are making a difference each day.

April Showers April Showers is Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri’s largest community service program and happens annually over two weekends each April. Girl Scouts, volunteers, families and friends help people in need by collecting personal care items. This extraordinary program was launched in 1998. More than 1.6 million personal care items were collected in 2018 alone. The Juliette Coordinator can connect you with the April Showers contact in your area. Volunteers are needed to help with bag distribution, bag pick up, Showering the Community collections and at area collection sites.
