Give today for Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana's Giving for Good Day! It supports our Council...

 Hi, all! 

I have not posted here in my Unofficial GS News blog for awhile.

But thought I'd share my Facebook posting for Giving for Good Day today!






GOT AN EXTRA $10 or MORE? You can support ALL AREAS of Girl Scouts in the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana today. We have some of our Members - Staff and Volunteers alike - fundraising today. We have some fun contests and people you can select for your donation. Please help! Our Council is working hard to save their GIRL SCOUT CAMPS, which is so important. Plus, "Your donation will assist in our mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character." Here are a few pages I see on my Facebook Feed today, in the order of seeing them. I plan to support them however I can. Every donation helps, NO MATTER HOW SMALL. (There is a $10 minimum). More can be found at the Give for Good page - - that link is at the bottom of this posting. Scroll down to see a "Fundraisers" list and vote there for your favorite Girl Scouts. Next year I hope to be a Fundraiser too!

Sharing the Linktree site for Girl Scouts, and sharing other Official GSUSA sites to explore.

Hello, fellow Girl Scouts. I hope you are well and happy today.

I have some great and popular Official Girl Scout pages to share with you today. There are just PARTIAL pictures of them.

#1: The Official Girl Scouts of the USA website: https://www.girlscouts.org/












Right now there is a link to buy Girl Scout Cookies no matter where you live. I think this is a great idea. Another place that is good to follow is the Girl Scouts at Home page: https://www.girlscouts.org/en/girl-scouts-at-home.html. It has great VIRTUAL activities there, for troops, girls, and leaders.

#2. The Official Girl Scout Blog













and FB page.













#3. Girl Scouts on Twitter 











and Instagram










AND #4. (new-ish - saw on Instagram) Girl Scouts on Linktree







(There are more categories here on Linktree too... this is just the top section.)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I was going also to put UNofficial sites to explore here - but that will be for another day. In the meantime, go to Facebook if you use it, and search for Girl Scouts in your area.

If you are in the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council, you may want to search for your own Area page there, and the KYANA pages too - for Camp Pages just search for KYANA plus the name of the camp. KYANA Volunteers are also there.

If you love the Outdoors, try going to the Outdoor Girl Scout Project (Unofficial) and applying to join. It's here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/outdoor.journey.

All for today! Happy Girl Scout exploring today.
