Spring into Spring Registration

Early Bird PatchEarly Bird registration prepares you for the coming membership year before things get hectic.Register your troop by June 30 and each of your girls earns an Early Bird fun patch, and you will avoid the crazy autumn, beginning-of-the-school-year crunch.  Troops can register together or you can register your daughter individually (this will help your troop leader). Don't delay, register now.  See your leader or membership specialist for all the paperwork and packets.


Peter and the Wolf at Omaha's Holland Center
On April 11, follow the beloved tale of how a little boy and his furry friends take on a hungry wolf. Girl Scout Brownies and Juniors are invited to this family matinee concert with a program and pizza dinner following.  Hear one of the region's most amazing symphonies and work toward a Try-It or badge (not provided) at the workshop -- just for Girl Scouts.  For your tickets, call Adam with the Omaha Symphony at 402.342.3836 x107.  There is special Girl Scout pricing for girls and grown-ups!
