MISSION: The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) gives girls who are in 8th–12th grade who are registered members of Girl Scouts of Maine, the opportunity to serve as the girl-voice of our council; their focus and projects will depend on the needs of Maine Girl Scouts. By lending a voice to a movement that wants, needs, and values girl-led contributions, these young leaders will play a significant role in shaping the ongoing program development work of Girl Scouts of Maine. Through girl-led activities, the group will enrich the lives of girls through leadership projects, mentorship, and living by the Girl Scout Law. The Teen Advisory Group will be comprised of up to 9 girl members from our council. Each girl brings her unique perspective from her experiences, background, and geographic area to create a unified voice and vision for girls across the state.
PURPOSE: This select group of girls will work as an advisory group that partners with staff members on projects ranging from programs, girl activities, girl engagement, trainings, marketing, social trends, and such other areas. TAG members will also have the opportunity to share their input with Girl Scouts of Maine’s Board of Directors. Additionally, each girl in the advisory group will assist with planning and/or facilitating GSME events.
