End of Year Reports Due Next Week

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 report and submit by July 1.

Justice, an Ambassador from Troop 28092 in Lincoln County, has this to say about participating in last year’s program: I joined the Girl Scout Advisory Board this year, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done! The leadership skills and planning skills I have earned are more than rewarding! The outreach this group has helped bring has been wide. The resources girls have helped make available for other Girl Scouts has made a large impact on myself and others. I can’t wait to continue with this group and continue making a difference with them!

Celebrate 80 Years of Keyauwee Program Center

Summer camp is in full swing! If you haven’t registered yet, there is still time to join us! Check out our day, overnight and horse camp programs and register up to two weeks before the session start date.
