JOIN US FOR THE BIGGEST GIRL SCOUT PARTY OF THE YEAR!! The 4th Annual Inspire a Girl Event on Sunday, April 7th at the Overland Park Convention Center and registration is open!

Make plans for you and your Girl Scouts to join us for this inspiring day! This day is for all ages as Girl Scouts can take part in hands on activities in our four focus areas (STEAM, Civic Engagement, Entrepreneurship and Outdoor Experiences). Our community partner and program staff will be leading these activities with more choices than ever before. Think of this expo as multiple community partner experiences in one venue / one day. In addition, Girl Scouts will also get to check out and be inspired by our 47 high-achieving Gold Award Girl Scouts through their incredible project displays. Following the expo, our festivities continue with the Gold Award Ceremony where we officially pin our Gold Award Girl Scouts. Don't MISS OUT on this incredible event.

Camping 102|

Multiple dates this Spring

Is your troop ready to primitive camp or cook over the campfire? If the answering is a resounding YES, it's time for you or another adult role model to join us for a Camping 102 session this Spring so you're properly trained and certified to lead these activities! Camping 102's are fantastic hands-on trainings with an expert trainer, a volunteer who has faced it all in the outdoors. You will leave the training with the tools and tricks to be successful on your troop campouts!

American Southwest Excursion

June 1-8

Pack your bags and travel with Girl Scouts! Cadettes through Ambassadors (entering grades 7-12 at time of travel) have the opportunity to earn 3 Outdoor Badges, plus your US National Park Stewardship Badge! Fundraising opportunities available!

COOKIE PROGRAM EXTENDED!

The weather has been truly awful this year! The cold, snow and ice have made it hard to have booth sales and to deliver cookies. Many of you have requested and we’re saying yes! We are officially extending the program by one week - our new last day is March 17, 2019.

Troops and girls may continue to participate in the program, both in-person and online. We want you to be able to sell through your inventory and meet your goals. Read the Q & A on what this means for cookie booths, cupboards, online sales, recognitions and turn-in meetings. 

Bling Your Booth is also extended and submissions are being accepted through March 18!
