Welcome to GSSI's Weekly Volunteer Update!
|
|
|
All girls in grades K-12 and their families are invited to join GSSI on Saturday, September 7, at Holiday World & Splashin Safari for our Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Fall Event presented by Alcoa Foundation. Girl Scout councils across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio are partnering for a day of fun for the whole family, including access to both parks and exclusive Girl Scout activities throughout the day!
Tickets to this event are $60 per person and include access to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, a buffet lunch, a Girl Scout SWAPS session, a fun patch, and additional program activities for Girl Scouts. (Season pass holders may use their season pass for admission but will need to pay $25 for the buffet lunch and Girl Scout program activities to gain access to the event.)
Girls do not have to be Girl Scouts to attend, so be sure invite your friends!
The deadline to register is August 11, 2024.
