Support Her Activities, Resources & Experiences
 The SHARE Family Partnership Campaign is specifically designed for families to have the opportunity to financially contribute to their daughter's Girl Scout experience. SHARE contributions provide funding for council-sponsored programs and camp facilities, as well as resources and training materials for troop leaders.
- With a $15 donation, all registered girls in the family will receive the annual SHARE patch.
- Grandparents who donate $15 or more on behalf of the SHARE Campaign qualify their granddaughter Girl Scout to receive a "My Grandparents Care to SHARE" patch.
- With a family donation of $50 or more, registered girls in the family will receive a special birthday greeting.

Troop 523 fights homelessness for
Girl Scout Silver Award project
Girl Scout Troop 523 worked with Haven for Hope to produce their Girl Scout Silver Award Project. The troop created a video to bring awareness to what school-aged children living in a homeless shelter experience when going to public schools and what public schools and students can do to help to minimize bad experiences. H-E-B produced the video. Thank you to these wonderful community partners for their support, and to Troop 523 for doing great things!
