WHAT TO BRING:  This year we would like to add a special element!!! SPECIAL PROJECT>> We would love to request that each girl  who attends bring 3-6 handmade holiday cards or drawings/artwork to pass out at each of the locations to the new friends that we make.

DarcyLeave a comment

Want to walk with our amazing Girl Scout Float in the 4th of July Parade?  Meet at  9:30am on July 4th at the Little League Parking lot up on 1st Street East.   Girls should wear either their Day Camp T-shirt, or full uniform (Sash/Vest, white polo style shirt, and khaki shorts, skirt or pants).  We’ll have special jobs for everyone!  Girls will be needed to carry signs that highlight the fun things we do in Girl Scouts, or to pass out flyers (maybe with a treat attached!) to the girls and families along the parade route.  Parents, please do not drop off your daughter at the parade area, but make sure she is being supervised before, during and after by an adult that will remain with the float and walk the route.

Participation patch will be awarded to everyone who walks with our parade float!

New Girl Scout Troops forming for Fall 2012

DarcyLeave a comment

Are you ready to join Girl Scouting?  We are beginning to form new troops that will start in Fall 2012.  Most troops start new program at the beginning of the school year, so this is a great time to join an existing troop, or start one of your own!

We need to get a little information about you and your daughter so we can get you connected with a troop.  Please download and mail in this Contact Form, OR you can fill out our online form and submit to us electronically.

If you have any questions about Girl Scout, or starting a new Troop, you are welcome to contact us by phone or email.  If you know that you would like to start a new troop in the Fall, we would really like to begin your Leader Training over the summer (much of it can be done online), so be sure to contact us early!

Whatever BLOOD type you are (did you think we were talking about your personality?) we want your blood!  The Blood Centers of the Pacific is holding a blood drive in honor of Gary Shipston, a Girl Scout father who will be undergoing a bone marrow transplant next month.  While we are not donating blood specifically for Gary, we are showing our support for him and others that are in need of life-saving blood during treatment.

Their mobile coach will be in the parking lot of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church (16290 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, CA) on Sunday, April 1, from 8:30am – 12:30pm.  Sign-up on-line at www.bloodheroes.com and click on “Donate Blood” and enter sponsor code: standrew.  Donors must be at least 18 years of age.  Bring photo ID.  Walk-ins always welcome.

Girl Scouts will be there with just the right cookie flavor to give you a boost of energy after you donate.  Please pass the word and feel free to share this flyer with friends and family.   See you on April 1st!
