Your Voice Counts! Girl Scout Voices Count Survey Coming in April
At Girl Scouts, we care about your experience, good or bad, and we want to hear from you! In April, Girl Scouts of the USA will be conducting a national survey with girls, parents/guardians and troop volunteers called Girl Scout Voices Count to find out what's working, and what's not, in Girl Scouts. They will use your feedback to improve our services and programs. The surveys open on
April 3rd. Save the date and be sure to check your email for the invitation to participate. As a Thank You, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a raffle to win one of twenty $50 gift cards! We can't wait for you to make your voice count!
Got questions? For more information, email
GSVoicesCount@girlscouts.org.

Girl Scouts' "Made in the USA" Commitment
Girl Scout Merchandise continues to honor its commitment to U.S.-m
ade products and to strive to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible. Girl Scout vests, sashes, tunics, and insignia are all currently produced in this country, and we are reaching out to more vendors that have capabilities to produce stateside. In addition, beginning in July, Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette badge production will take place in the United States.

Royal Palm Service Unit held their annual camporee with a Thinking Day theme on February 17-19 at Camp Nocatee. The camp was transformed into an international setting for just over 300 campers. Eleven countries were represented throughout the day Saturday and culminated in a lively celebration that evening.
Over 60 Girl Scouts gathered to support Troop 40704 Bronze Award project and clean Frederick Douglas Park in Ft. Pierce. Sea turtle nesting season kicked off in March, so the troop wanted to make sure the local beaches were clean in time for the turtles to lay their eggs. A whopping 251 pounds of trash was collected and removed. Inwater Research Group sponsored the event with supplies, refreshments, weighed all the garbage and shared lots of cool sea turtle information.
