Tidewater Community College Students Lend a Helping Hand to Girl Scouts

On Saturday, August 16, more than 15 students from the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at Tidewater Community College Chesapeake Campus gave a helping hand to Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast as part of the Society’s Day of Community Service. The volunteers spent the morning at A Place for Girls the headquarters and program center for Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast located in Chesapeake.

The group of students added a fresh coat of paint to one of the picnic pavilions in The Outback, a nearly 9 acre nature area situated behind A Place for Girls. The pavilions are used by both Girl Scout members and visitors all year long as they enjoy hiking the trails, climbing the outlook tower, canoeing on Bells Mill Creek, picnicking and more.

Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service for college students. Members of the Alpha Zeta Lambda chapter at Tidewater Community College Chesapeake Campus have been making a difference in the local community for over 30 years.

Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast relies on volunteers all year long to not only serve as mentors and guides for nearly 15,000 girls across the region, but also to help maintain camp properties and program facilities.
