2023-2024 GSHH Program Guide

Brownie

Welcome to the 2023-2024 Girl Scout Year!

Dear Members and Friends of Girl Scouts of the Hudson, Inc.,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 Girl Scout Year! For this year’s Program Guide, in addition to the Girl Experience programming, we’ve added the schedule of adult learning and training opportunities for the year. This will serve as a helpful resource for leaders and Girl Scout families as they plan out their year and get the required trainings for troop activities and deliver a unique Girl Scout Experience.

The 2023-2024 schedule features an expanded number of in-person programming to be held at GSHH’s camps and properties throughout the council’s seven-county footprint. Girl Experience programming offers fun and enriching programs that will give Girl Scouts an opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills, practice their passions, and learn about the world around them.

Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. designs it’s Girl Experience programs so that they can be completed and enjoyed with a troop, Service Unit, or individually for a Girl Scout and an adult family member. There is no one way to be a Girl Scout and GSHH’s programming allows Girl Scouts to develop their leadership skills and support their interests along the four main pillars of Girl Scouting:

• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Match (STEM)

• Outdoors

• Life Skills

• Entrepreneurship

We are so excited to see you all at our programs and training courses throughout the year as we work together to build girls of Courage, Confidence, and Character who will make the world a better place.

Make sure to keep checking the events calendar on our website www.girlscoutshh.org/calendar as we will be adding programs throughout the year!

Yours in Girl Scouting, Helen Wronski

Interim CEO, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc.

The Girl Experience at Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson

GSHH takes the guesswork out of planning activities! Girls can sign up for programs with their troop, as an individual who is part of a troop but wants to explore her own interests, or as an independently registered Girl Scout (Juliette).

The Girl Experience Program Guide contains:

q A list of the scheduled programs by date with age level indicators.

q Description of programs with locations, registration fees, and anything else your girls will need for their programs.

q A listing of webinars and resources for Girl Scouts working toward their Highest Awards (Gold, Silver, and Bronze)

*Programs are subject to change in the event of low registration numbers, severe weather, or scheduling conflicts.

Funding Your Girl Scout Experience

Your Girl Scout can fund her Girl Scout year through participating in GSHH’s product sales programs, the fall Nuts and Mags program, and the famous Girl Scout Cookie Program in late winter/early spring. The proceeds from these programs stay local, funding council programs and assistance to Girl Scouts, and provides direct funding to Girl Scout troops in individual Girl Scouts. These funds can be used for uniforms, program fees, membership renewal, and even summer camp!
