Wellness Day at Camp Pamunkey Ridge
|
Have you ever tried yoga, line dancing, or just hanging out on a hammock?
Do you want to sit around the circle for story time or make your own sensory jar?
Join us at Camp Pamunkey Ridge on November 5th, 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. to do all of this and so much more!
Wellness Day will be an opportunity to inhale confidence and exhale doubt through activities that promote wellness and self-care. Girls will leave with the Resilient. Ready. Strong patch. Stay for the Juliette Gordon Low Campfire.

November events are right around the corner! Make sure you sign up to enjoy all the fun!
Head over to the western side of our council to Richlands Dairy Farm on November 19th. Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors will tour the milking parlor, cow barn, and nursery calf barn. Girls will also get to see a robotic calf barn and milk a cow!
| | Have you heard of Girl Scout Destinations? |
They’re the ultimate adventure for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors—and the perfect way for them to meet new friends from across the USA! With more than 30 trips to choose from, girls are sure to find one that sparks their interests and launches them into an unforgettable experience. Check out all available opportunities.
| | | Treat Yourself Fall Product Program | | | | Coconut Seeks a Forever Home |
Coconut the Monk Seal is looking for her forever home. Any Girl Scout participating in the Fall Product Program with $50 in magazine sales will be entered into a drawing to bring this huggable 3-foot girl home.
You don’t need to do anything to enter; simply ask your family and friends if they would like to subscribe or renew a magazine subscription in the M2 system and sell $50 worth. The winner will be announced at the completion of the Fall Product Program in November.
| | ACH for Fall Product Program | |
ACH for Fall Product will be here soon. If your troop has a balance for the Fall Product Program, we will draft that balance from your troop account on November 11th.
Not sure if your troop has a balance?
- Look for Financials and Reporting on your troop dashboard
- Click on Banking and Payments for a full breakdown of your troop sales and the balance due.
Keep in mind if you are picking up 2nd chance orders or have additional online and magazine sales, this amount may change. So, check back on November 10th.
