Spotlight on: Ginger Sandell, Office/Shop/Product Sales Associate
Get to know your council support
What I do on a "typical" day at the Garden City office: Answer phones, process Cookie Credits, assist customers in the shop.
Why I love being a Girl Scout: It's all about making a difference in a girl's life. If I can help just one girl reach her potential, or create one leader then I did my job.
When I'm not at the office, you can find me...In a troop meeting, on a troop trip, reading or horseback riding.

Staying Healthy and Fit
Keeping Girls Healthy and Fit with 'Healthy Habits' Journey Booklets
Whether they're hiking, trying a new sport, or preparing tasty, nutritious snacks, Girl Scouts enjoy many fun ways to lead healthy lives. Health and fitness have been part of Girl Scouting since girls ran foot races in 1912!
Through the National Program Portfolio-Leadership Journeys and The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting for girls at all levels-girls develop leadership and build skills they can use now and in the future. Healthy living activities are woven throughout the Girl Scout program in varied ways to provide girls with choice and flexibility. In partnership with the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, Girl Scouts has developed three "healthy habits" booklets for volunteers to use in conjunction with their Journey Adult Guides. The booklets will help guide girls on their Journey as they learn to lead active, healthy lifestyles. Learn more and download these FREE resources here.
