GIRL SCOUTS making the world a better place in 2022 every year, Girl Scouts perform over 75 million hours of community service Onalaska's Brownie Troop 7276 made a buddy bench for their school. The service project also included meeting with their school board and talking about the world of Girl Scouts! How terrific is that?!

There are service projects of all sorts with different levels of impact. Consider doing a project at your school, or within your hometown - something that you can see will make a difference.

Girl Scouts is where the seeds of volunteerism are sown. Let's make our communities a little better this year.

HELP MORE GIRL SCOUTS JOIN TROOPS Many schools are not letting in organizations including Girl Scouts because of COVID restrictions. That means our traditional efforts to connect with new families are gone.

We need your help to connect with families in your school and community. Can you set up Girl Scout information tables at school parent-teacher conferences and other school and community events? We have ready-to-go kits with all the info to share. We need your help to spread the word and your love of Girl Scouting.

Scan this code or email us to let us know you can help. info@gsbadgerland.org 15
