Welcome to Troop 812, GSSI's first adult-only Girl Scout Troop!
Find yourself reminiscing about your Girl Scout days? Never got to join a troop as a kid? Now is your chance to do all the Girl Scout things, as a grown-up! Just like our girl-centered troops, Troop 812 will be a place to participate in fun activities, make new friends, and maybe even learn new skills.
👧 WHO: Adults, 18+ (college students and up)
đź“ť TO JOIN:
- Register as an adult Girl Scout member ($30 and you will be asked to complete a background check).
- Agree to give a few (3 or more) hours of volunteer time to GSSI (more info below).
In return, we'll plan, at a minimum, 4 free community events at different organizations and locations around the Evansville area. Each of the events will correlate to one of the 4 pillars of Girl Scouts, so you'll get to do fun activities focusing on:
- STEM: coding, robotics, chemistry, space science, etc.,
- Life Skills: cooking, crafts, innovation, etc.,
- Outdoors: camping, hiking, animals, etc.,
- Entrepreneurship: financial literacy, planning, budgeting, running a business, etc.
After each event, you can earn a badge or patch, just like the girls do! Since Girl Scouts is girl-led, you will get a say in future events as a member. We're always open to suggestions on new places in the community!
This year, we are planning the following events (many of the dates are still being organized or are TBD):
- Summer (TBD July): Cooking Class with Feed Evansville
- Fall (TBD October): Activities at Camp Koch in Cannelton, IN
- Winter (TBD December): Gingerbread businesses at the GSSI Office
It’s never too late to be a Girl Scout! Join Troop 812 today!
