2012 Video Contest

Calling All Girl Scout Troops!

Grab your cameras and get those creative juices flowing! We want troops in all grade levels to enter our 100thAnniversary Video Contest! Troops should submit a two-minute video with a message to future Girl Scouts. The video should tell Girl Scouts who see it in 2112 what they need to know about what it means to be a Girl Scout today in 2012.

A winning video will be chosen from each grade level (Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, Ambassador) and placed in a virtual time capsule at the GSHPA 100th Anniversary Camporee in August 2012! Winning videos will also be posted on the GSHPA Web site and YouTube channel.

Rules for the video contest are listed below:

  1. Videos must be submitted by a troop leader or troop representative who is
    older than 13 years of age.
  2. Videos must be submitted in one of the following formats to be considered for the contest: .MP4, .wmv, .mov, or .avi, or through a link on YouTube.
  3. Videos exceeding two minutes in length will be disqualified.
  4. All girls/people appearing in the video MUST have a photo released signed and/or on file with Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania.
  5. This contest is only open to registered Troops of Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania.
  6. All entries must be submitted no later than June 15, 2012 to qualify.
