n Girl Scouts North Carolina Coastal Pines invites girls,
families, and volunteers to stay involved while at home. We know that today’s girl is ready to pivot on a moment’s notice and is willing to embrace new ways to explore Girl Scouting. That’s why we’re promoting these options for engaging with us while you’re at home today … or any day!
COMMUNITY CONNECTION encourages Girl Scouts to continue to maintain a connection with their community. Each Monday we’ll share ways for you to engage with your community by learning about, connecting with, and leaning into the community around you. Join the conversation online
#OurGSNCCPCommunity
Art in the Community: Our Community is filled with so much amazing art! Many museums offer ways to view and engage with art online, so you don’t even need to leave home. Read on for some fun ways to enjoy our community art on your own!
Create a Mosaic:
Mosaics are works of art that use small pieces laid out to create a larger design or image. These works of art are found in many communities across the world and were found in ancient cultures as well. While the small pieces in mosaics are often small bits of glass, stone, or tile, they can be made with any material: bits of paper, acorn caps, dried beans...your imagination is the limit! The North Carolina Museum of Art invites you to make your own mosaic creations at home. Make one, and share your creations with us by tagging us and using #OurGSNCCPCommunity!

Remember, before you get online, take the Internet Safety Pledge! As a Girl Scout, you already know that girls are pretty incredible— hello, they’re the go-getters, innovators, risk-takers and leaders of today and tomorrow! But did you know that there a museum dedicated to being a girl?!? That’s right, Girl Museum is the first museum in the world dedicated to girlhood. It’s a virtual museum for exhibitions, education, and raising awareness about girls and girlhood globally. Through exhibitions, publications, and projects, Girl Museum explores and documents the unique experience of being born and growing up female. Over the last year, Girl Museum's own Contributing Writer Tia Shah, has been writing an amazing column about trailblazing girls throughout history. This Incredible Girls column is about contempo-rary girls under the age of 25 who are doing awe-inspiring and significant things in the world. You can find their stories here, below is an except from one the column that highlights the life of newly-published author and Girl Scout, Alice Tapper. 11-year-old Alice Paul Tapper, daughter of broadcast journalist, Jake Tapper, just wrote a picture book all about the importance of girls raising their hands in the classroom. When she was 10, she wrote an op-ed for the New York Times where she talked about a recent school trip and she noticed that all the boys were speaking up in class and the girls were quieter. Alice decided to take the experience to her Girl Scout troop, and together they created a “Raise Your Hand” patch. Girl Scouts can get a patch by promising to raise their hands in class and get other girls in their class to do the same. The patch has been available nationwide since October 2017. Inspired by the op-ed, Alice’s picture book, Raise Your Hand, came out on March 26, 2019, and encourages girls to be more confident in class.
