Program Events and Activities

Join us in celebrating Breauna and Eden, two extraordinary Girl Scouts from Troop 53, who took center stage and delivered the first kicks of the Richmond Kickers game this past Saturday.

Breauna and Eden left the crowd in awe of their skills and determination! The girls, both shining examples of courage, confidence, and character, demonstrated the true spirit of Girl Scouting as they fearlessly stepped onto the field. Their passion for soccer and sisterhood shined as they encouraged each other and had tons of fun going against Kickeroo, the Kickers’ mascot.

TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! GIRL SCOUT NIGHT WITH THE CHILI PEPPERS RESCHEDULED TO JULY 26th!

GSCV Treat Yourself: Fall Product Program

The Fall Product Program is a fun and simple way for Girl Scout troops to finance adventures, give back to the community and learn the five essential skills of Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills, and Business Ethics. Troop packets will be mailed to leaders this summer.

 

This year’s theme is OWN YOUR MAGIC and the mascot is the Ocelot.


The Ocelot is a medium-sized wildcat found throughout the Southwest in the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America.

They are agile climbers and love to swim. Their beautiful fur coats make them resemble a jaguar or leopard. Encourage your Girl Scouts to learn more interesting things about these beautiful, endangered cats.


New this year customers will be able to purchase Tervis products and a special

Girl Scout themed Bark Box through the magazine portal.
