 Outdoor Programs Visioning Workshop February 11
10 a.m. until 1 p.m. We would like to invite interested Girl Scout volunteers and girls, grades 3-12, to join national property volunteer, Nick LoPiccolo, for a visioning workshop on outdoor program opportunities. The purpose of this workshop is to gather outdoor program ideas. We want your participation to identify issues that support and/or limit outdoor program in our council. The workshop will be hosted by our GSUSA property consultant and be open to all members as part of the long-range program and planning process begun earlier this year. The workshop and discussion will be hosted live across council via the video conferencing setup. If you are interested in participating, please register online at http://www.girlscoutcsa.org/events. Space will be limited to the capacity of our meeting rooms, so please register only girls and adults who can actually attend that session.
