Family Partnership,
One More Gift…One More Girl…One More Future
Today girls face many challenges and intense pressures. Now more than ever, girls need Girl Scouts... and the Girl Scouts needs them! You can be assured that when you give to the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast, you are helping girls develop the confidence, the strength of mind, and skills they will need to succeed in life. With your financial support, we can reach out to more girls and give them the Girl Scout advantage!

The Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast Family Partnership Campaign &
My Family Shares Patch provides families an opportunity to invest in a girl's future. In addition to helping develop quality program activities and helping us reach out to more girls in the community, your Family Partnership contribution keeps camp, program activities/events, and adult training fees to a minimum, and helps keep our camps safe and well equipped.

Here are just a few ways your gift will help a girl:

• $25 will provide Girl Scout Handbooks
  for a troop in an At-Risk community
• $50 will provide membership fees for 5 girls
  in need of financial assistance
• $100 will pay for 1 girl to have a week at day camp
  and her transportation
• $250 will provide supplies, training, manuals
  and materials for 10 volunteers
• $365 ($1.00 a day) will take an At-Risk troop to a
  Girl Scout Leadership Development Program activity
  at one of our partner agencies
• $500 will provide updated computer software
  for our after-school programs
• $1,000 will rebuild a damaged shelter at one of our camps

Families should have received information from their Troop Leaders for the Family Partnership Campaign & My Family Shares Patch during the month
of February. If your family was missed, please consider making a gift today online!
