Take a Girl Scout to Work Day - Spring Break!

Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast is hosting several opportunities for Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts to visit with local professional women to learn about their occupation. Each mentoring experience will take place in the morning and be done prior to lunch. Specific details will be coordinated once the girls have been selected to participate.

Each high school girl selected for this program will be representing our Council and is expected to be in full Girl Scout dress uniform, white shirt with a khaki skirt or pants and their current vest or sash. We expect each event to be covered by our marketing team and, in some instance, by the marketing team at the business. Therefore, girls must have written permission to attend and a current media release.

3 Reasons to Renew Your Girl Scout Membership Beginning April 1

It’s almost that time of year again—time for you and your girls to renew your Girl Scout memberships for another year of exciting opportunities!

We all know the Girl Scouts offers girls a lot more than just a fun place to hang out and make new friends. With Girl Scouts, girls have the chance to build courage, confidence, and character as they become go-getters, innovators, risk-takers, and leaders. But first, they have to renew their membership!

Whether you’re renewing your membership or your girl’s, Early Bird registration begins April 1 and we don’t want you to miss these awesome April renewal incentives! There are 3 great reasons to renew in April:

1. Girls have a chance to earn free patches. Girls can earn a free early renewal patch PLUS, they can earn a free, exclusive First Day patch by registering by April 2, 2018.

2. You'll get special deals to our GSCCC retail shops.

3. There's no way around it, renewing is just way more convenient. The fall can get a little busy with back to school business, but when you renew your Girl Scout membership early, that’s one less thing to worry about when August comes around.

You can renew beginning April 1.
