Annual Family Giving Campaign

Deadline December 20, 2012 to receive S.U. recognition

The Annual Family Giving Campaign is an opportunity for families and friends of Girl Scouts to make a financial contribution to directly benefit the girls. As a member of our Girl Scout family, you know how important Girl Scouting is to girls, their families, and the community. Girls need a place where they can just be girls — having fun, making friends, and feeling safe. Girl Scouting provides girls with the skills to face daily challenges and make sound decisions that affect them today and in the future.

Help support Girl Scouting by sending back your gift using our Family Campaign Pledge Card.
