Hurricane Helene Relief
Troop 1072 volunteered at relief centers by sorting donations.
We recently announced the launch of the Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians' Appalachian Strong campaign. This initiative unites our efforts to address the most urgent needs in our Girl Scout community.

The Appalachian Strong campaign will consist of selling T-shirts and stickers, with all net proceeds going toward recovery efforts. The funds will be used for:
  • Financial assistance and scholarships for impacted families
  • Uniform, patch, and badge replacements
  • Troop and service unit supply replenishment
  • Restoration of damaged camp properties
If you want to make only a monetary donation to our Appalachian Strong campaign without ordering a t-shirt or sticker, you can do so online. We also have set up an Amazon Wishlist where you can purchase items to be donated for hurricane relief.
order tees and stickers
Troop 20856 bought supplies and assembled hygiene kits.
Troop 20826 (located just 30 miles from hurricane damage) went shopping for diapers, wipes, water, female products, hygiene products, toys, blankets, socks, and coloring books to donate.

Be Seen in Your Community
Girl Scouts from Service Unit 404 worked together to gather, pack, and distribute 200 hygiene bags to send to four local middle schools. They also took extra supplies to two area high schools' and two area colleges' hygiene closets. This service project will help hundreds of girls in the Catoosa County, GA, area get emergency supplies in their time of need.

Please share your stories and photos with us at
socialmedia@girlscoutcsa.org! Please include a brief description (including date/location) of the event and/or project depicted, as well as the troop number(s).
