Note: For the safety of our girls, some information (either time, date, or event) is deliberately missing from the publicly posted information below.  Please email the contact person if you need any missing details.
 Each month we'll feature a community service project that can be contributed to by all age levels.
This project is not required, but provided to leaders as "easy" community service activity for SFSU troops.


Check out OUR COUNCIL'S PROGRAM CALENDAR for other opportunities.

You can also check out the Events and Things to do at GSNWGa (our sister council in Atlanta).

Click here to go to the council Training page -- as always, for special trainings contact the Training Coordinator.
 
Our sister council to the south (Girl Scouts of Northwest Georgia) offer some cool and unusual trainings (like archery) that our council just isn't equipped to offer as often.  You still need to take your basic trainings in our council, but check out GSNWGA Training for some additional options.

The Cumming Office is officially open Tues 9-2 and Friday 9-12:30.  Frequently, staff is in the office longer than the office hours, so call ahead and someone may be there.

***  NEW Troop Rebate Card -- Each time you purchase more than $10 from either council shop and mention your daughter's troop number, a card we will keep on file will be punched**. Once the card has been punched 10 times, a $10 shop credit will be issued to the troop.  We hope this creative opportunity will encourage you to continue to shop at the Northeast Georgia Council shops, where 100% of the profits from every purchase benefit the girls in our council.  You MUST mention your troop number at the time of in-store purchase or when you place your order. Cannot be used in conjunction with the Frequent Shopper Card.
