Council offers virtual taste of Girl Scouting

Fort Myers, FL–Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida is offering a free “Summer Spectacular” series of weekly introductory troop meetings for girls and their families.

The new four-week series features unique hands-on activities for girls in grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5, which explore the many program options available in Girl Scouting. Activities vary by grade levels, and are centered around STEM, the environment, healthy living, the arts, good citizenship, and more. Participants will learn what it means to be a Girl Scout, how families can get involved, and what makes Girl Scouts the best leadership development experience for girls in the world.

The series will run June 16-July 9, and registrants may choose between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. sessions. Each meeting will last under an hour with time for questions and answers about membership, volunteering, and participation options. Parents may also register for one of three virtual “Open Houses” to be held June 4, 10 and 11 to receive more in-depth information about the program, including options for older girls and adult volunteer opportunities.

Program scholarships are available based on financial need. To register for the free series or learn more about Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, visit www.gsgcf.org.
