Gulf Quest -- Spend the Night at the New Maritime Museum
|
 Come chart a course and set sail on the Gulf Quest Overnight Adventure. Gulf Quest is the first museum dedicated to the Gulf Coast's rich maritime traditions - and one of the only interactive maritime museums in the country. Girls will navigate through the museum's hands-on exhibits by completing a treasure hunt. They will take a trip through a 6-foot diameter solar system sphere where girls will view the sun, the planets and their moons, and participate in other instructional navigation activities. Check out the details! |
Honor Breast Cancer Survivors with Friendship Bracelets
|
 The Joy to Life Foundation asks Girl Scouts to create special friendship bracelets for breast cancer survivors for their annual Walk of Life event. This is a great opportunity for girls to use their arts and crafts skills to bring support, joy and friendship to women and men of all ages who have been touched with this disease. Girls of all ages and skill levels can create a bracelet by either coming up with their own design or using various tutorials made available on our Girl Blog at www.girlscoutssa.org/blog. There is no minimum or limit to how many a girl can make. Once finished, the bracelets can be turned into either the Montgomery or Mobile Service Centers. Click here for more information on the bracelets and the Joy to Life Walk |
Fun Contests, with Great Prizes!
|
|
Bling your booth! I was surfing GSUSA's Bling Your Booth Facebook page, and so far there are only 68 booths posted. If there are 25 winners, I would say at the moment the odds are pretty good to win. Of those 68, only one is from GSSA troop from Mobile. Now, I know the girls of this council, and they are an exceptional group. So, if you are exceptional in decorations, color, and creativity, you should bling your cookie booth! We have some good booths; let's show them off!
Just a reminder about some of the contests of this year's cookie program. Your chances of being a council super seller are easier because we divided the council into 5 regions, since some were rural and others more heavily populated. The super seller for their region has a choice between a Kindle Fire or a $200 GSSA program credit. Also, all girls who sell 150 or more packages of cookies are entered into a drawing to win a Kindle Fire.

Other Opportunities

Because we want our girls to have many learning (and fun!) opportunities, we offer this additional calendar for programs that are not presented by our council. Some of these programs are presented by our volunteer Troops and Service Units, others are put on by groups in the communities we serve. Calendar listings do not imply endorsement by the council. This calendar is available on our Events & Programs page
Please contact the volunteer listed in the program for more information and program status.
