What is the POSITIVE POWER Service Project?
The Girl Scout POSITIVE POWER service project is a partnership among the council and shelters that serve survivors of domestic violence. Each year a collection drive is carried out to stock the shelters with needed personal care items.
Girl Scouts all over our council are encouraged to participate. They can collect items individually, as a troop, or organize drives that involve their Service Unit or community.
2010 Service Project Details:
The 2010 Positive Power collection drive will be held on or around March 6, 2010. Download more information now.
Troops and Service Units are encouraged to incorporate Positive Power as part of their Thinking Day Activities.
