Stop 4: Explore Your Community

The idea behind this step is for each member of your Silver Award team to list the communities they are part of, and what the needs of those communities are.  "Communities are groups of people who have something in common."  By this definition, a community can be almost anything!  Your math class is a community, your family is a community, and your friends group is a community.  For this step, we got started by brainstorming three communities that we are part of.  Alison is part of: Girl Scouts, North Andover Middle School, and her family.  Jillian is part of: synchronized swimming, Girl Scouts, and North Andover Middle School, and Margaret is part of Windrush farm, Girl Scouts, and St. Michael School.  This step is actually a good activity for everyone to do; even if you aren't working on a Silver Award, considering the needs of your community is valuable.  Once you know what your community needs, you can even volunteer to help out!  After all, everyone appreciates a helping hand!
