Take a look at our new Program Guide to see what council-hosted opportunities are available this fall and maybe even score the Girl Scout Road Trip patch by participating in our core program pillars and traditions.
Last Day to Register for State Parks Events, Keyauwee’s 80th Birthday and Leaderee
Every September, Girl Scouts explore the natural wonders found across our country during the Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend. We’ve partnered with several state parks in our footprint to bring family-friendly fun and unique experiences like learning how waterfalls are made, making nature art or even going on a night hike complete with s’mores! Find events on our calendar for unique activities at state parks near you and find more resources and the downloadable activity guide on our badges and patches webpage.
On Saturday, September 20, you can bring your family and friends to experience the outdoors and classic camp activities as we celebrate Keyauwee Program Center’s 80th Birthday.
Registration for Leaderee, our adult learning weekend at Keyauwee Program Center, closes today as well! This event is for all adult volunteers who would like to spend the weekend of September 26 at camp to complete trainings like Basic Camping Skills License or First Aid/CPR as well as other enrichment classes to support your Girl Scout experience.
Meet Your BFF
The Fall Product program starts next week on September 15 and we want your vote to help name our Grizzly Bear mascot! Voting closes on September 12 and our new Brave. Fierce. Fun! mascot will be announced to kick off the program.

Adult Volunteer Resources & Trainings
Let’s rally together for a great Girl Scout year ahead! Our council is excited to launch Rallyhood– our new, one-stop communication and collaboration tool. Troop leaders and service unit managers should have received e-mail invitations to join rallies specific to them. Feel free to create a free account and start testing out the features in our Welcome Volunteers Rally . While there are plenty of self-led tutorials, we invite all troop leaders and service unit managers to join us for our virtual Rallyhood Training on Thursday, September 18.
