Fall Fashion Trends
Girl Scout uniforms and official apparel have an iconic look that you’ll want in your wardrobe this fall! You and your troop will look great at meetings, field trips, community service projects, parades and more. Plus, you can customize your look by earning patches, badges and awards together or on your own.
Join us for a special Say Yes to the Vest event at the Triad Service Center and Girl Scout Shop where you can find your perfect fit, try fun activities, enjoy delicious refreshments and more. Invite a friend and you could get a special gift at the event! Spots are limited, so register today. Registration is free, but required, and includes a swag bag and free patch.
Can’t attend? You can shop 24/7 online, at our service center locations or even bring the shop to your troop meeting when you request a Troop Uniform Shop.
Have you seen our new shirts for the council’s 15th Birthday Bash and for the Council-wide Camp Out? Register today and join us for a great time at Camp Ginger Cascades!
