Pelican's SnoBalls were also available for purchase throughout the October 30th event.
Daisy-Brownie-Junior Day Camp
Our younger scout troops enjoyed a fabulous afternoon/evening at Camp Tanglewood on September 25. While learning new outdoor skills, hiking through camp, and preparing edible fires, they earned at least two badges!
Back to Troop Pool Party
With the end of the summer comes the beginning of the school year, which means that many troops are welcoming new girls to Girl Scouts. More than 70 scouts, leaders, friends, siblings, and parents enjoyed a pool party at Camp Tanglewood on August 22. Participants enjoyed snacks while they splashed in the newly refinished pool.

Over 125 scouts and leaders enjoyed perfect weather on May 15, 2021 at Camp Tanglewood. Participants enjoyed archery, canoeing, crafts, swimming, and badgework. The day of fun concluded with s'mores and skits at the Trefoil Theater.

More than 80 scouts and leaders attended the magical Masquerade Ball on March 12, 2021 at the Sacred Heart Cultural Center. Guests enjoyed music and a digital photo booth from Amplified Events, as well as yummy snacks and a craft.
Pal Pool Party
Our annual recruitment event was a blast at the beautifully refurbished pool at Camp Tanglewood on August 16, 2020. Nearly 50 current scouts, leaders, and parents invited non-scout "pals" and their parents to enjoy the summer fun in the sun with popcorn, ice pops, lemonade, and a fun patch.

Scouts donated dimes to their favorite booths and food tables, and troops receiving the most dimes were awarded certificates. All money collected is donated to the GHSG Friends and Family campaign. Donations of toiletries were also collected for the Chavis House.
No-Sew Scarves
Over 100 scouts, leaders, and parents met at River Ridge Elementary on November 22 to make nearly 1200 fleece scarves to be donated to local charity organizations. Participants also enjoyed a delicious spread of sweet and savory treats to munch on while cutting and tying into the night.
Pal Pool Party
After two successful Recruitment Rallies in early August, current Girl Scouts and those interested in becoming Girl Scouts were invited to a Pool Party at Camp Tanglewood on August 18. Scouts were asked to "bring-a-pal" of their choice to introduce her to the fun and friendship that Girl Scouting has to offer.
Over 200 scouts, friends, leaders, parents, and siblings attended the event, enjoying ice pops and popcorn while they made new friends by the cool of the pool!
