Need to add new members to your troop? Now is a great time to invite your friends to join Girl Scouts through our Extended Year Membership offer. New members who register by June 30 can start their Girl Scout journey now and enjoy a discounted membership that lasts through September 30, 2026! And as an extra bonus, new Girl Scout Daisies will receive Get Ready with Girl Scouts activity books delivered to their door.

There are many inspiring mothers and mother figures that put great care into building girls of courage, confidence and character with us. Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and we are keeping our volunteer appreciation e-cards and resources available through May to help you find more ways to spread cheer to those who make your world a better place.

Step up to the plate for a night of fun, learning and team spirit with GSCP2P and our local Minor League Baseball teams! Head to our calendar to see baseball games near you and stay tuned as new games and teams are added. In addition to discounted tickets, you may also find games in your area offering meal deals, running of the bases and even an overnight campout on the baseball field! While cheering on the home team, you can explore the fundamentals of baseball and discover how STEM plays a key role in the game.

To ensure that every member has the opportunity to participate in our overnight summer camp programs this year at Keyauwee Program Center, GSCP2P will be offering free transportation assistance from our Asheville and Hickory Service Centers for select weeks of camp! We will be offering direct transportation assistance for full-week campers during Renaissance Revival week (June 22-27, 2025) and Magnificent Makers week (July 27-August 1, 2025). To sign up for this FREE service, register your camper for one of these two sessions through Campwise. Campers will be transported in either council-owned vans or charter buses, depending on interest and availability. 

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month and a great time to learn about ways to explore healthy habits, how to implement them in your everyday lives, as well as learning ways to improve your mental wellbeing.

Each year, Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont needs to report our progress and success to our communities and membership. We are required to obtain data from troops and service units annually to maintain our 501c3 status. Completion of these reports helps us update your records and to better understand how we can best support you. Your help is greatly appreciated with this important task. Get started on your Troop Year End report or Service Unit Year End and submit by July 1.
