GSCCC First Day Patch Contest is Back!

Have your girls submit their designs by Friday, February 14th! The winning design will be created into a patch to be given to everyone who renews for 2021 membership year on the first day of Early Bird Renewal.

Visit the GSCCC Blog for more information.

Early Renewal is Ending Soon - Don't Miss Out!

If you haven't already renewed your troop, now is the time! In addition to ensuring that your girls are on the path for a successful year of adventure, learning, and leadership skill building, you also still have the chance to win one of our incentives.

All troops who renew 90% of their girls plus two adults by midnight on June 15th will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $250 gift card to Great Wolf Lodge OR a $250 gift card to Build-A-Bear. Two troops will win!

We also added an additional incentive for service units. We're giving away an encampment...actually, two of them! For every 25 girls renewed between June 1st and June 15th, your service unit will receive one entry into the drawing for a free encampment. As an added bonus, for every 25 NEW girls added to your service unit during the same time period, the service unit will receive 5 additional entries into the drawing.

New friends, old friends, free encampment-sounds like the perfect recipe for a great Girl Scout year!

Early Renewal

April 1st will be here before we know it which means it is time for early renewal! It also means it is time to announce this year’s Early Renewal Incentives.

Do your girls get excited about patches? That’s a silly question, of course they do!
All girls who renew their membership during Early Renewal will receive a 2019 early bird patch.

In addition to the 2019 early bird patch, girls who renew on April 1st will receive a special GSCCC 1st Day Patch designed by Ella Dow, a GSCCC Daisy in Troop 1422. Click here to see Ella’s design.

Patches aren’t the only cool things we are giving away this year, so be sure to check out the entire list of incentives!

Give Her Amazing Experiences for Another Year!

When your girl continues another year with Girl Scouts, she'll have another year's worth of opportunities to stand up, speak up and take the lead. She'll discover her inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ and you'll be able to watch her shine, again and again.

Will she find a sustainable solution to a problem in her community? Will she explore the great outdoors? Build a robot? Learn to code? Conduct an experiment? With Girl Scouts, the possibilities are truly endless. Renewing during Early Bird means she'll discover all she can be and everything she can accomplish when she has the right tools and a safe space to shine.

For Girls. By Girls. All Girls.

Girl Scouts do what has to be done. Not because it's asked of us, but because the Power of G.I.R.L. burns bright within every single one of us! Let's do even more amazing things together next year. Early renewal ends June 4th.

Renew your girl today!

The Race to Seventy-Five

Will your service unit be the first to achieve 75 percent girl renewal and win the incentive money?

The service unit early renewal incentive is still anyone's race!

Early Renewal ends on June 4th, so now is the time to take advantage of the latest troop incentives and get your girls renewed.

May Incentives Release!

The weather is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming, and the tell-tale sneezing must mean that it is officially spring.

May is a busy month! Troops are taking trips, planning end-of-year parties, attending service unit encampments and much more. As you are making your monthly to-do list, be sure to add "Renew My Troop" to the top. By renewing this month, you'll not only have a head start on the fun and adventure for next year but your troop may be entered into drawings for some incredible incentives. Does the name Great Wolf Lodge peak your interest?

Of course it does!

You can find out more information about this and other incentives here. This month always seems to go by fast. Make sure to renew today!

Why Should I Renew Early?

Renewing your membership now may seem like a small thing but the impact is huge! Not only is it the first step to another year of life changing adventures, there are fun perks for both girls and troops.
