Dauphin Island Sea Lab Mini-Destination
|
|
Spend a weekend on beautiful Dauphin Island!
Journey into the Gulf of Mexico on the Research Vessel Alabama Discovery, where we will collect fish, shrimp, and crabs to study. Go seining in the salt marshes, take a beach walk, and visit the Estuarium.
This is a great opportunity for girls in grade 5 and older (and their moms) to spend a weekend learning about our amazing marine environment (AND it costs much less than a weekend trip with hotel and meals).

Girl Scout Volunteers are Patriotic
|
|
It is a week to remember fallen heroes -- a week of patriotism and reflection. While we reflect on those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, it is always good to take stock of ourselves, as well. What would we have done? What do we do to make the world a better place?
I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with our volunteers last week. This is always a delight because I have the privilege of working with some extraordinarily gifted people. I never cease to be amazed by GSSA volunteers. So why do they do what they do?
