Since 1912, we have used the Girl Scout slogan to “Do a good turn Daily” as a reminder of the many ways girls can contribute positively to the lives of others. We recognize that in the days ahead it may be difficult for families with so much uncertainty around what is happening. We at Girl Scouts of Eastern MA will be doing our part for our members and those new to Girl Scouts by offering these programs for free. These resources can be found by visiting our website.
Únase a nosotros para una conversación en español durante un café para aprender sobre la programación virtual gratuita de Girl Scouts. Aprenda cómo navegar por nuestros recursos y qué tipos de programas ofrecemos para ayudar a que sus niñas desarrollen habilidades de liderazgo.
