✨ Day of the Girl S.A. is only a few weeks away, on Sunday, October 11, at Hemisfair's Yanaguana Garden. This year's theme is Your Sparkle, Tu Magia (Your Sparkle, Your Magic). RSVP today at www.dayofthegirlsa.org.

The event, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., is free and celebrates everything about girls. What makes your girl sparkle? Is it the way she plays sports, or performs on stage? The way she helps others and is a friend to everyone? No matter what, she's got magic within her, and we're here to celebrate it! 💜

Enjoy hands-on activities from San Antonio's girl-serving organizations, a burgers food truck, get a free T-shirt (for girls) while supplies last, and much more. This is an event you won't want to miss! 🎉

Hop to it! 🦘 The Fall Product Program is going on NOW, and it's not too late for girls to join the fun! 🎉 Girls can choose to participate until the last day of the program, October 27. Head to the Fall Product Program page to find the permission form, how to get started, and important dates: https://bit.ly/3RdfMsM

The program is a great opportunity for troops to earn money for activities during the Girl Scout year. Girls sell items such as nuts, candy, magazines, tumblers and so much more to family and friends to help their troop and council fundraise for the upcoming year! 💚

💡 Here's a tip for girl entrepreneurs: Want to include out-of-town family on your holiday list? Encourage them to visit your storefront for magazines, Girl Scout-themed BarkBoxes, Tervis Tumblers, personalized stationery, and candles (we hear they smell like the seasons)—all of which can be sent directly to the family on the list! 🎁

Are you ready for the adventure? Get started today!
