About this book
You want your Girl Scout to develop confidence and grow to be her best self.
When she has interests that differ from those of her troop, we want you to have
the keys to drive her Girl Scout Leadership Experience. That's why we developed
EVENTS + ACTIVITES, a new bi-annual publication that highlights programs
that she can attend on her own, with a Girl Scout friend, her troop or even with
your whole family! Fall event registration is open now at gsnetx.org/events

Questions? Please reach out to us at programs@gsnetx.org.

From the desk of the CEO...
Dear Girl Scout Families,

Welcome to the 2018-2019 Girl Scout year! I am so excited to share this
new bi-annual publication – Events + Activities – with you. This book
includes a wide variety of engaging Girl Scout events and activities for your
daughter and your family.

As you prepare for a great Girl Scout year, please use Events + Activities to
plan your daughter’s Girl Scout Leadership Experience or to supplement
activities she already has scheduled with her troop. We want to be sure that
you have every opportunity to explore ALL that Girl Scouts has to offer –
the quality of your daughter’s Girl Scout experience is now in your hands!

At Girl Scouts, the girl is at the center of all that we do. But a great way to
celebrate our girls is to engage the entire family. Page 5 highlights great
family fun events for mom and me, dad and me and the entire family.
In addition, there are outdoor leadership and adventure opportunities
throughout the council, new experiences at the STEM Center of Excellence,
and events to earn badges and journeys.

Have an older girl? Be sure to check out page 6 for our new Girl Scout clubs
including those for astronomy, filmmaking, coding and more. If you have
a high school girl, see the Girl Scout Leadership Institute (GSLI) feature
on page 10. GSLI offers exclusive college and career exploration which are
amazing opportunities for building confidence for her future.

We hope you find this a valuable resource for your family. Take a moment,
sit down with your daughter and find the parts of Girl Scouts that inspire
             her. There is a place for every girl in Girl Scouts and we can’t
                wait to see you and your daughter this year!

                             Sincerely,

                             Jennifer K. Bartkowski
