Upcoming Events for the Months Ahead!

In an effort to keep all calendar items in one place, I've added more options for the girls in the months ahead. Our Council (our area of Eastern Iowa Girl Scouts) may add other activities as the year progresses. Again, girls and their families can decide how many or how few events interest them. Any can be attended with or without the troop. If your daughter has particular interest any events, please let me know so I can register her.
