Planning your next Girl Scout adventure? Check out all the programs and activities here.
Summertime is Summer Funshine Time 
Girl Scouts can have fun and do cool things all year long. Summer Funshine provides an opportunity to do some things your troop didn't have time or resources to do during the school year and is an excellent opportunity to introduce bridging Girl Scouts to the rest of the girls in the troop. In addition, the program encourages retention of our girl members.
To earn the Summer Funshine patch or bar, troops must participate in three activities (one per month) during June, July, and August. Check out the requirements
here.

We believe in the G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™! Go-getters in Troop 21108 used a portion of their Girl Scout Cookie sale proceeds to participate in the Disney Youth Education Series: Physics and Motion at Walt Disney World. While exploring the physics and special effects behind roller coasters, they had a wonderful time bonding with their Girl Scout sisters too.
G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ Power! While Daisy Troop 40628 was working on their 3 Cheers for Animals Journey, they enlisted the help of their sister troops, Brownie Troop 40306 and Junior Troop 40723 to make pet beds for animals in need of a "forever home". The girls voted to use their Girl Scout Cookie sale proceeds to buy 160 pounds of dog and cat food. Girls brought the donations to The Humane Society of St. Lucie County and enjoyed a tour of the facility. Read more in a TCPalm feature
here.
With gratitude and appreciation, Hibiscus Service Unit presents a Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida Community Award to the City of Hollywood, Florida Government Department of Parks and Recreation.
