185 Be You - Believe in Yourself

386 Decorated Clipboards

We will create a multi-use clip board customized to your interests! A unique clipboard with your style and personality is the perfect leadership tool or a fun gift. Make a custom clipboard and pen that are easily identifiable and bring you joy when using them.

441 Making STEM Make Sense
The world exists because of math and science, but it doesn't have to be intimidating and you don't need a lab coat or calculator to experience it all around you. You experience science when you brush your teeth, when you put on clothes, when you play the piano, and when you make your oatmeal in the microwave. Let's look at our world with a different lens and see how science surrounds us, and break down stereotypes and identify scientists in our very own lives.

486 Origami Fun!
Create boxes, animals and so much more from just folding paper! Create inexpensive gifts for friends and family. Origami is a great troop activity.

407 Juliette Low - Our Remarkable Founder
Come learn about Juliette Gordon ‘Daisy’ Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, and the impact she has on the lives of Girl Scouts today. In this workshop, we will share a bunch of activities that you can do with your troop to help the girls learn about our founder and to celebrate her amazing life. You will get a chance to try some of the activities yourself.
