Community Events

Our Community Partners are businesses and organizations that help us provide our girls with access to the world by offering activities or events tailored to Girl Scout members. We continually seek additional partners to offer the highest level and variety of Girl Scout programming, and to provide as many options as possible to girls throughout our council. The goal is to help girls discover potential career paths, new skills, stress-relieving hobbies, and causes they care about.

For Council-approved horse stables, visit our list of approved horse stables.
