To earn the Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador Community Service Bar, a Girl Scout selects an organization to volunteer with, receives guidance on what tasks the Girl Scout will complete, and obtains council approval* before starting the service.
Requirements to earn a Community Service Bar:
- Council pre-approval.
- Minimum of 20 hours of community service with your chosen organization within one year.
- Service hours must be logged and signed by a contact at the organization. (You will be asked to upload a typed and signed log in the final summary report.)
- Complete the service within one year of approval.
*Approval can take up to 10 business days. You may check on the status of your request at any time by emailing awards@gsnypenn.org.
