Daisies and
Brownies have had an amazing fall season - from campouts to service projects to enjoying the changing season to honoring our veterans and everythng in between!
While
Daisy Troop 3147 from Kansas City, MO was out and about, they had the chance to visit the Nature Center at Smithville Lake. As they explored the Nature Center the girls build bluebird houses and experienced a special creature up close and personal!

As Mia experience a broken ankle, her sisters rushed to her side to make her feel better while getting help from their teacher.

A long-standing Community Partner,
Henry's Haul is once again calling on Girl Scouts to help them collect single pack toy cars for kids who are staying at Children's Mercy Hospital. Thanks to Girl Scouts in the past, Henry's Haul has met or exceeded their collection goal every year...
let's help them do it again this year!

100+
Community Partners serving Girl Scouts all over our region, many of which can be done by girls individually or with their family!

Special Interest Troop Forming
Calling all 3rd - 5th grade girls! We have and Arts & Culture Special Interest troop forming.
Is your girl is interested in art, dance, music, literature and other cultures? Would she like to be part of a group of girls and women who share these interests and passions? Does exploring these things in the Kansas City metro excite her?
We are looking for girls to be part of this new Arts and Culture Special Interest troop. They will discover all the Kansas City metro has to offer from dining at Moti Mahal and Cafe Sebastienne, to visiting the Nelson-Atkins, Jazz and Kemper museums. They will do things like choosing a book to read for a lively discussion, and taking in a show at Starlight Theatre. The girls in the troop will drive the experiences and choose what they want to do. The adult volunteers will be there to help organize, plan and introduce you to new and exciting cultural experiences.
Meetings and outings will be once or twice a month. As a Girl Scout, you can be part of this troop AND your current troop. You can also bring in some friends that may not currently be Girl Scouts, but are interested in art and culture!
