LEAF Retreat Returns!
|
Answer the call to help adventurer Ozark Jones (totally fictional character) in her hunt for the Lost Diamond (totally fake diamond) at LEAF Retreat 2025 (totally real fun)!
LEAF Retreat (Leadership, Education and Fun) is a weekend full of workshops to help volunteers with their troops and activities “just for fun.”
We are currently putting together our schedule for the event, but past offerings have covered topics such as outdoor skills, mental health, CPR/First Aid, conflict resolution, team building, ceremonies and traditions, and lots of crafts! Enjoy camp as you spend time with other volunteers and work together to solve the mystery of the Lost Diamond.
LEAF will be held May 2-4 at Camp NOARK. Cost is $60 and includes lodging, meals and an event t-shirt. More information to follow about how you can join the expedition team.

Girl Scout Testimonials
|
Please share this information with caregivers. We want to gather testimonials from our girls who are in other activities in addition to Girl Scouts.
We would love to show how Girl Scouts can "do basketball", or "do gymnastics" while they are a Girl Scout. We are looking for testimonial photographs of girls participating in extracurricular activities while wearing their Girl Scout uniform. Do you know or have a girl or girls in your troop who can share a photo and some information with us to be used for our testimonial campaign? Imagine a girl wearing her volleyball uniform or dance leotard with her Girl Scout vest or sash on top, showing that while she does any activity or sport, she is a Girl Scout.
For testimonial information to go with the photos, we are looking for answers to questions such as “What are you most excited about in Girl Scouts? How do you think any skills you may learn will impact other things you do? How has Girl Scouts already impacted your life?”
Please send information or “leads” to Lynzee Roszak, lroszak@girlscoutsdiamonds.org or Katya Wolverton, kwolverton@girlscoutsdiamonds.org.
