An exciting opportunity is here! Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines has been chosen to pilot a new evaluation program. We invite YOU to share YOUR thoughts and feelings about YOUR experiences in Girl Scouts.

To give girls the best programs possible, Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines wants to learn whether you are enjoying Girl Scout activities, understanding new materials, and ultimately, if the programs are truly benefiting you. Being one of the first Girl Scout councils to participate in this new program will allow us to get started NOW!

We will conduct the Girl Scout Voices Survey soon, and we'd like all Girl Scouts to participate. We encourage all girls and volunteers to register today at www.girlscoutvoices.org. The questionnaire that you complete on this initial registration will help us build our panel of participants.

Once our council has built a solid panel, we can begin sending age-appropriate surveys to our girls and volunteers throughout the year. The feedback provided on these surveys is extremely important to us and will help Girl Scouts create programs targeted to help girls where they need it most.

Parents: If your daughter is under the age of 13, you will need to provide your parental consent and register your daughter at the link listed above.

Volunteers: We also want to hear your thoughts and feelings about Girl Scouting's benefits for girls! Please register for the Girl Scout Voices Survey to participate in completing surveys about your experiences as well.
