Also, if you have any items with a prominent trefoil (like a cap, water bottle, bracelet, etc.), bring it! We will be doing activities like hiking, playing, getting in canoes, and more.
• COVID – we will have a health check-in that everyone will be required to do to make sure you don’t have a fever or symptoms. Girls will be close with other girls for pictures.
• Parents/ Guardians – we also need adults to be in pictures. If you have a volunteer vest or simple Girl Scout t-shirt, wear it when you come with your girl! We can stage you as a leader or you can be in a picture with your girl as a parent! We’re looking for men and women!
Action needed:
Let us know if you can come, and if you can’t come the whole time, which period of time you can be there. The more time you’re there, the more opportunities to be in pictures! Please fill out this brief form to let us know if you'll be coming.

 | GSNCA's Celebrations of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Girl Scouts
Last month, GSNCA celebrated over 160 Girl Scouts who earned either their Bronze Award or Silver Award. These girls gave over 5,000 hours of service to their communities while completing their awards. They focused on topics ranging from the environment, to shelter animals, to senior citizens, to foster children, to black history, to improving GSNCA's camps and service centers, to keeping their communities healthy during the pandemic. We are proud of these Girl Scouts for working so hard to make a difference in their corner of the world! These celebrations aired live but remain on our Facebook and YouTube pages to watch whenever convenient. These ceremonies came after our Gold Award Ceremony in April, during which we celebrated all 16 of our newest Gold Award Girl Scouts. You can see the photos from that event here. |

 | Troop Tuesday: Using Cookie Proceeds to Improve Camp!
Girl Scout Troop 30840 completed a huge service project at Camp Coleman! They spent about $600 of their Girl Scout Cookie proceeds to redo the area in the middle of camp near Memory Lodge. They removed the old pond, painted the sign, landscaped the entire area, added mulch, and installed solar lights (which look suns when lit!).
Share your troop's stories! Email us at communications@girlscoutsnca.org. Find more #TroopTuesday stories on our Facebook page. |
