Did You Party Like a Girl Scout? | | |
Thank you to all of the Girl Scouts from around the council that joined us to celebrate a century at the 100th Anniversary Birthday Celebration. We had a great time visiting more than 60 activity booths, climbing a rock wall, bouncing in a castle, trying archery and rocking out with Radio Disney - and we hope you did too!
Your opinion matters to us, and we always want to know what we're doing right or what we could be doing better. Please take a couple of minutes to let us know about your experience - we truly appreciate it!

The NEW Girl Scout Snack Bars, of course! The Fall Product Sale begins September 22, and is a fun and simple way for troops/groups to earn funds for their fall and winter activities.
This year, girls in our council will be among the first in the country to sell Girl Scout Snack Bars. The bars are  packed with wholesome ingredients like hearty rolled oats, crispy cereal and chewy granola. They also have a smooth chocolaty dip along the bottom and drizzle across the top for a taste you'll love. Of course, you'll also have the opportunity to sell the nuts, candy and magazine subscriptions your customers know and love.
