Get your troop moving, growing, and doing good with UNICEF.
Now your Girl Scout troop can give back to your community while taking part in a fun activity at your next virtual or in person meeting.
It's all possible thanks to a special partnership between Girl Scouts of the USA and UNICEF Kid Power.
UNICEF Kid Power is an online platform that lets kids select from a library of over 150 videos of three- to five-minute activities that will have them dancing, learning about the world, and having fun. Videos feature:
- Physical activities like dancing, workouts, and yoga
- Activities that teach social and emotional skills
- Conversation starters on social justice and change, resilience, and more.
With UNICEF Kid Power’s videos, your troop can unlock virtual coins to support food banks and philanthropic organizations in your community. For every ten exercise or mindfulness videos completed, UNICEF distributes one ready-to-use therapeutic food packet to a severely malnourished child. Your troop’s donations may go anywhere in the world.
How to get started:
- Visit www.unicefkidpower.org/girlscouts to sign up for and access UNICEF Kid Power for free. (Your council may already have a troop signed up.)
When you come to “school/organization,” choose “add it here” to enter your local troop information. Please name your organization “Girl Scout Troop _____.”
- Now you’re ready to watch UNICEF Kid Power Up videos. Play a video at your next troop meeting to get moving. If your troop is meeting remotely, share your screen and unlock impact together.
Introduce your troop to UNICEF Kid Power and then have them select the videos they want to play at upcoming meetings.
Introduce UNICEF Kid Power to your troop:
- To start, visit the Girl Scouts’ UNICEF Kid Power website with your troop. Then, while sharing your screen, play the student introduction video. This will help them learn what it means to be part of the UNICEF Kid Power program.
- Before you choose and watch videos together, set a goal so you can make a clear impact. How many videos does your troop hope to complete? You can also decide how many virtual coins you want to earn in the UNICEF Kid Power Exchange. Think about what you can realistically accomplish. Your troop members and their families can also participate in UNICEF Kid Power Up videos outside of troop meetings.
- Make your impact. For every video you complete, your troop earns virtual coins to use in the UNICEF Kid Power Exchange, which lets you support food banks and other organizations in your community. For every ten videos you watch, you unlock therapeutic food packets for severely malnourished children around the world.
