Is your Service Unit interested in hosting a Fall Product Rally?

For more information or to reserve your Rally in a Box, contact Toshia Jackson at tmjackson@gsle.org or 225-927-8946, ext. 1231.

This year's Fall Product Program is October 4-27, with adult learning sessions, beginning September 14.  The Service Unit Fall Product Program Adult Learning Session is Saturday, September 14, at Ascension Parish Library, in Gonzales.

BSI Comics invites Girl Scouts in grades 4 - 12 to come meet professional artists and discover the world of comic art and practice drawing too! The workshop is Saturday, September 7, from 1 - 2:30 p.m. at BSI Comics, 3030 Severn Ave in Metairie. 

It's $15 per  participant and the fee includes Comic Artist Badge and take-home artist supplies including art pencils, gum eraser, inking pen, and an art pad presented at end of workshop. Register by August 28, 2013 or when maximum capacity (60) is reached. 

While the Comic Artist Workshop is designed based off the Comic Artist Cadette Badge requirements, it's open for all girls ages 9 and older who have a passion for drawing!

Throughout the LSU Athletic season, Girl Scouts have the chance to earn the official LSU Athletics patch, which is awarded to each girl who attends three out of five events over the 2013-2014 LSU Athletic seasons. Special classification borders are available to those girls who have already earned the patch! These sporting events include Volleyball, Soccer, Women's Basketball, Gymnastics and Softball. Please visit www.lsusports.net for updates regarding these events.

These events are still open, but registration is no longer being accepted through the Girl Scout office, so in order to register, please contact Lauren Taylor directly at ltaylor@lsu.edu or 225-578-6659 for more information. Girls should be dressed in athletic clothing and are welcome to bring knee pads for the clinic. Admission is free to the public to attend the game.
