Girl Fest is back! Come join us and your sister Girl Scouts for a chance to check out some of Girl Scout Heart of the Hudson program offerings for 2025. Whether you register as a troop or an individual, you will have a chance to be an explorer - trying new things and discovering new interests. Girl Scouts are creative and entrepreneurial, enjoy the outdoors, and love spending time with each other. Girl Fest offers the opportunity to investigate areas of technology, outdoor skills, crafts, community service, and much more!
This is a rain-or-shine event.
GSHH is also looking for volunteers to help with stations during Girl Fest to make it a successful event. If interested in volunteering from 8am-3pm on 10/19, email Samantha Alonzo-LaPointe at slapointe@girlscoutshh.org.
