Girl Scouts Care!

For the month of August, Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada will be collecting back to school supplies for Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth. Girls will receive a patch for donating at least two items.

Bring all items to the Council Shop during regular business hours August 1-30, 2012. A list of needed supplies can be found at girlscoutsnv.org. For more information, contact Toni Carey at tcarey@girlscoutsnv.org. 

Gold Award

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors can earn. Fulfilling the requirements for the Girl Scout Gold Award starts with completing two Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Journeys or having earned the Silver Award and completing one Senior or Ambassador Journey. Each Journey you complete gives you the skills you need to plan and implement your Take Action project.

To get started, refer to your Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting.

Ambassadors in Action

Destinations: Italy and Greece

More than 20 girls from across the country including three from right here in southern Nevada spent two weeks in Italy and Greece. This once in a lifetime experience is part of our Girl Scout Travel Program. Our travel opportunities help girls gain experience in planning, budgeting and earning travel funds, meeting new friends and making the world a better place through service.

Girls World Forum
