Central Girl Scouts to Hold Recruitment Events

    A Girl Scout recruitment and registration event will be held in Central to give families the opportunity to learn more about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, meet other adult volunteers, and/or register girls for placement in a troop. Girls entering kindergarten through 12^th grade from the Central school district, other area schools and churches, their parents/guardians, and other adults interested in volunteering are invited to attend the event on either Tuesday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. or Saturday, September 29 at 10:00 a.m., Central Branch Library, 11260 Joor Road, to learn more about the Girl Scout program and adult Girl Scout volunteer opportunities.

    Girl Scouts is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development, and builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In partnership with caring adult volunteers, girls develop leadership skills as they discover new interests, connect with others, and take action on issues that are important to them.  This year Girl Scouts of the USA launched the new ToGetHerThere campaign to inspire girls to achieve leadership roles in all aspects of society. To learn more about this cause you can visit www.togetherthere.org. Membership is $12 per year for girls and adults, making it a positive and affordable option for today’s busy families.  Some favorite areas of interest for girls and adults include camping, health and fitness, the arts, science and technology, travel, cookie-selling, and much more.

    The Girl Scout program levels are Girl Scout Daisies, kindergarten – 1^st grade; Girl Scout Brownies, grades 2-3; Girl Scout Juniors, grades 4-5; Girl Scout Cadettes, grades 6-8; Girl Scout Seniors, grades 9-10; and Girl Scout Ambassadors, grades 11-12.  For more information about registering your daughter in Girl Scouts or adult volunteer opportunities in Girl Scouting, contact Membership Executive Christine Morgan at 225-927-0846 or [email protected].  You may also contact our local chairperson, Jennifer Ackoury at 610-6696 or [email protected].  Check us out on Facebook at GSLE Service Unit 104.
