More Learning, More Outcomes
Girl Scouts complements the indispensable work you do as an educator every day. We invite you to work with Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast to bring the power of Girl Scouting to your school by offering space, allowing us to distribute information to girls and parents, facilitating Girl Scouts representation at school functions, or encouraging parents to volunteer with us. There are so many ways to be part of the impact!
