What Can a Girl Scout Do? Check Out GSSI's Fall Program Supplement!

 

GSSI's Fall/Winter 2013 Program Supplement should have arrived in the households of registered Girl Scouts around mid-August.  This guide will have all the great GSSI programs being offered from September to early January.    A year-long Program Guide with all of the programs that are scheduled in 2014 should arrive in mailboxes in December.

 

Did You Know?  GSSI Girl Scouts can attend most programs individually or with a troop. 

 

Check out all of GSSI's programs with our online program calendar!  Programs should be updated soon for the 2013-14 year.   Because we schedule our programs so far in advance and work with a variety of collaborators in countless venues across southern Illinois -- occasionally, things change.   GSSI's online program calendar is the best way to get the most current information about upcoming programs.   See how to use GSSI's program calendar.

Each fall, GSSI's Nut, Candy and Magazine (NCM) Product Program helps Girl Scouts raise money for their troops to help them attend programs, take trips and fund service projects.   

Girls also learn five essential skills that will help them become confident, responsible leaders and citizens: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics.
