Volunteer Appreciation Month
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month and it's no secret that Girl Scouts would not be possible without troop leaders. We've created a toolkit for families to complete with their Girl Scouts to show a token of their appreciation to their leaders.
This toolkit includes:
- Thank you card
- Coloring sheet
- DIY gift idea
- Gift guide
All of those materials can be found here.
Get Your Tickets for Honoring Excellence
Silver & Gold. These are some of the highest awards a Girl Scout can earn. It's our honor to celebrate those who earn them. Join us in Fargo on June 8th for Honoring Excellence to recognize Girl Scouts who have earned their higher awards. Adult members who have made a significant impact and earned a Council or GSUSA Award will also be recognized. Secure your ticket today.
New Program Available - Girl Influencer
The Girl Scout Influencer Program lets you share your unique experiences through photos, videos, blogs, and other digital content. It’s an exciting way to hone your digital storytelling skills while showcasing your favorite Girl Scout activities. Whether you love capturing the perfect shot, telling stories through videos, or sharing your Girl Scout experiences, this program provides the tools and platform to help you shine. Plus, it gives you the freedom to prepare, create, and share content like a true influencer.
This program will start with our Spring Into Summer events.
Laura Ingalls Wilder Adventure Box - EXTENDED
There's still time to try our Laura Ingalls Wilder Adventure Box! We've extended the registration deadline until May 31st or until supplies run out! Laura was a pioneering figure in children's literature, known for her influential Little House series. By ordering this box, you can immerse yourself in the world of Laura and her family through games they might have played, crafts and toys they might have made, and recipes from their time. (Did you know Laura and her family lived in DeSmet, SD? That's a place with rich history and activities to explore. Keep it in mind during your next troop outing!) Order your Adventure Box, today!
