VIDEO PROJECTS
Girl Scouts of
Oregon &
SW Washington
The Project
The Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington serves thousands of members across a vast region spanning Oregon and parts of Washington. Volunteer-led service teams play a crucial role in the functioning of Girl Scouts regionally and nationally.
We produced a localized video campaign to encourage new volunteers to help with these program coordinations and showcase the value that comes with being a part of this community. We coordinated with their leadership team to identify key members and events to tell this story from. We also produced an event video from one of their family fundraising events.
In 2024, we also had the privilege of producing ads for their summer camp properties. These videos highlight the unique activities at camp, such as archery, rock climbing, crafts, and campfire songs, giving potential campers and their families a glimpse into the fun and growth opportunities that await. By showcasing both the camp experience and the community-building aspects of Girl Scouts, we aimed to inspire both new participants and volunteers alike.
Our Approach
We created a video campaign through coordinated interviews with a variety of volunteers and capturing video at an annual gathering and troop meetings to paint an enticing picture of why so many choose to volunteer. We took a documentarian approach to crafting the narrative- by doing full, genuine interviews with volunteers and piecing together what was a few hours of interview content, compressed down to a few minutes.
Additional media content produced for this project included cutdowns of full video, optimized for social media, and photos. This campaign has been helpful in them recruiting and coordinating with new volunteers. Our event capture focused on a speech by Olympic Gold medalist, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and was used to show community appreciation.

At Arrowhead Camp, campers can experience the thrill of rock climbing, perfect their aim with archery, arts and crafts, and more. These activities, combined with the camp’s stunning setting, encourage personal growth, creativity, and lasting friendships.

From scaling rock climbing walls to paddling through serene kayaking spots, the video captures the thrilling experiences of Camp Cleawox. Highlights like sand boarding, horseback riding, and team challenges emphasize how camp encourages personal growth and builds lifelong memories.

The Result
“We are thrilled with the end results!”
“Bridge City Media was amazing to work with! They thought through our project request and came up with a full proposal with different options for us to choose from. We filmed on location 3 times and had lots of footage to choose from. They were amazing with sharing the full transcript for us to pull from and they were very quick with any requested edits. We are thrilled with the end results!”
