I'm a Girl Scout and soon enough I'll Have to do my Gold Award, which needs around fifty community service hours. However I want to do something that fits my interests; education, handicaps, biology, that sort of thing. Any ideas?

Ask your school or local hospitals if they need any free help. Im sure they wont refuse.

Red Cross Volunteer

Volunteer for a river cleanup (probably won't make the full fifty that way).

Volunteer at a nursing home.

Eugenics?

I was JOKING!

Hospitals or care homes probably wouldn't turn down a good volunteer (you'd need a background check probably though, depending where you are, I've volunteered to help at Sunday School and I'll need a record check probably).

volunteer at your local literacy program (you can read right?)
volunteer at the library to teach a class to kids or to read during story time
volunteer for your local political party (registering people to vote ect.)
contact the local red cross, they do stuff constantly and welcome volunteers
call the local hospital ask if they need volunteers
look up charities in the phone book and start calling them to see if they need help

call the children's hospital, ask to speak to thier "child life" department, they are always in need of people to visit chronically ill children in the hospital and make them laugh.

Oh, I'm 15...has to be something that I can do at that age.

I hate politics...I've met lots of senators and they're all two feet taller than me.

Today I house battered women and their children in my home. Go figure.

I'm a Girl Scout

And stunning in the uniform!

and soon enough I'll Have to do my Gold Award

Congratulations!

Any ideas?

Something with the elderly. People always seem to forget to take care of them.

Yeah right by built benches also means over 500 dollars in cement mixed by hand and probably 100 hours into building forms seting bases and building the benches themselfs

ha, almost everyone is two feet taller than me LOL (not really but I am quite short)

does your neighborhood have neighborhood watch? you could volunteer for that, or you could start your own, that's guaranteed to take 50 hours and you will get extra brownie points for taking initiative. (not really actual brownie points, that's a figure of speech but you know that)

you're first act of public service should be to feed me cookies!

ah, see I got kicked out. I was shunned, it's cool here to go "all the way" through scouts

my girls are a little miffed at me that they didn't get to do daisies and brownies this year.
