Early Bird Renew and
DISCOVER More!
May 1 - June 15
Are you pumped for another year of badges, leadership and DISCOVERY? We are too!
Beginning April 1, girls can renew their membership! All girls who renew their membership before June 15 are invited to a Girl Scout party at the Discovery Museum in October!
Girls who Early Bird renew and a registered adult (parent, guardian, troop leader) will enjoy the museum's fabulous exhibits and special Girl Scout programming for each level. And as always, girls will receive a commemorative Early Bird patch!
We're also offering Service Unit incentives! Service Units who renew 50% of their girls and 50% of their adult volunteers will have a Girl Scout party brought to them! Brush up on your outdoor skills or discover the world of STEM at your Service Unit's special party! Service Units will choose when to hold their party in the 2016-2017 membership year.
