It’s back to school time, which means it’s also recruitment season as we launch into the new Girl Scout troop year! At Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (often referred to as GSSNE or “council”) we recognize that everyone (us included) is going to be experiencing a much different looking fall this year, but never fear! We have been hard at work creating new experiences and opportunities for our girls, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
We have many exciting recruitment events planned and we’d love for you to join us and learn more about Girl Scouts. Some events will be put on by GSSNE staff, and many more will be put on by area Girl Scout volunteers (we call our areas “service units”) on a more local level. Come join us for any one of our Animal Dance Parties, Make New Friends series, Facebook Live events, volunteer-led events, or join our new Virtual Troop! For a full list of our scheduled events, please see below and click on the dates that you’re interested in attending for more information and to register.
The only thing we are more excited for than all the amazing opportunities that this membership year has for us, is sharing it with you!
