Service Unit Communication
|
Service units (SUs) consist of local volunteers and girl members in an immediate geographic area, such as a city or county. SUs are led by volunteer teams who foster a supportive Girl Scout community where members feel known and valued. To ensure community support, it is essential for SU teams to have email addresses and phone numbers for volunteers in their area. Full or partial contact lists are typically shared with the following SU volunteers:
•SU Chairs (Business, Volunteer, and Cookie Chairs)
•SU Day Camp Directors
•SU Secretaries
•SU Delegates
•SU Community and School Liaisons
•SU Mentors
GSSI only provides SU teams with contact information for their specific area. SU volunteers are not permitted to share private contact information with anyone and must ensure contact lists remain confidential. If you do not want to be contacted by your local SU team, please notify Kim Consley at kconsley@girlscouts-gssi.org by Monday, June 10.

Campfire Cookie Chats
|
|
GSSI is hosting two Campfire Cookie Chats for girls and volunteers to discuss cookies!
|
-
The Girl Campfire Cookie Chat will be on Sunday, July 7, from 1:00-2:00 PM CT at the council office. We will discuss past and upcoming cookie programs as the Cookie Program is the girls' program, and we always want them to have a voice in how it is run. Girls must RSVP to attend this chat.
-
The Volunteer Campfire Cookie Chat will be on Sunday, July 21, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CT at the council office. Volunteers will steer this meeting with questions/topics submitted beforehand. This is to help new volunteers (or seasoned volunteers) with any cookie questions they may have. Volunteers must RSVP to attend this chat.

|
To RSVP, please email Gretchen at cookies@girlscouts-gssi.org.
