The ability of our local Girl Scout council to meet the needs of our membership depends on a shared commitment by parents, volunteers, Girl Scout alumnae and other friends in our community. Many people assume that the Girl Scout cookie sale covers all of our funding needs. The reality, however, is that just 70 percent of our operating budget is supported by the sale. If we are to ensure the growth of the Girl Scout program locally, we need to secure adequate funding from a variety of sources to make up the difference. In support of these efforts, we request that you consider making a contribution to the Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada today.  

Your support speaks to your belief in the time-honored values of the Girl Scout program. Together, we can continue the tradition of providing girls with the experiences that impart beliefs, values, and principles that strengthen their leadership skills and abilities, their service toward others, and their resilience to handle challenging situations in their lives.  

Thank you for supporting Girl Scouts in your community.
