We are here for you, Girl Scouts!
After the storm, we will send a message updating you on our Girl Scout community and our camps. In the meantime, access these resources for support and ways to help. Please Be Prepared – make sure to take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety.
We know this is a difficult time – most families in our council have faced numerous challenges in the past two weeks. After the storm, if there is any way your Girl Scout community can support you or a loved one, please email info@gswcf.org.
In the days ahead, we will help to remind you of the amazing ways our Girl Scouts use their courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place. I hope it will bring you a little sunshine during this stormy time.
My thoughts are with you all.
