May 2019
Greetings!

Can you believe summer is almost here? Girl Scouts are bridging to their next Girl Scout levels, celebrating a successful year and of course gearing up for Girl Scout Day at the K and so many other summer adventures. In true Girl Scout fashion, camping and enjoying the outdoors is a must do activity for girls.

Generous support from donors like you has made summer camping and outdoor experiences possible and provided the world class equipment that our Girl Scouts deserve. Thanks to our Capital Campaign initiative last year, we are proud to be able to open the brand new Aquatics Center this summer at Camp Prairie Schooner. If you made an investment in this project - THANK YOU! You have given ALL Girl Scouts access to aquatic adventures in this fully ADA compliant pool.

In addition to Capital Campaign support for the Aquatics Center, every gift made to Girl Scouts sustains existing and new leadership programming and provides updated camping gear and equipment to keep girls safe as they take risks and explore their limits. THANK YOU for making a Girl Scout outdoor adventure the very best for a growing G. I. R. L. ( Go-getter , Innovator, Risk-taker , Leader ) TM.

Girl Scouts get their hands dirty and give back to Camp Tongawood!
Troop 1788 Giving Back to Tongawood
Troop 1788 from Lansing / Leavenworth, KS made camp even more beautiful by giving their service!

A HUGE SHOUT OUT & THANK YOU to GS Cadette Troop 1788 from Lansing / Leavenworth, Kansas. These Girl Scouts finished their Trees Badge by planting a pine tree and two flowering shrubs at Camp Tongawood. Their Day of Service included getting their hands dirty, digging and planting the trees that will thrive on our camp property for years to come. There's nothing better than watching girls learn about nature, how to take the lead and create something that will beautify Camp Tongawood for all their Girl Scout sisters.
