Girl Scouts of South Carolina celebrate 100 years of changing the world
October 26, 2016
Girl Scouts of South Carolina-Mountains to Midlands and Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina are honoring the amazing work that Girl Scouts have done for the last century
Please join us November 4, 2016 from 7:00pm-10:00pm at the State Museum in Columbia to celebrate the millions of Girl Scouts who have created, developed and executed “Take Action” projects that have positively impacted their communities and the world, earning Girl Scouts’ highest award.
The event is open to anyone 14 years and older. Tickets are being offered to registered Girl Scouts for $10.00, registered adults for $20.00, and to the general public for $30.00 each. This event is an opportunity for members of the Girl Scouts Community, Girl Scouts alumnae, and community members to network with recipients of our highest award while celebrating the powerful impact the Gold Award has globally. Guests will be treated to music, interactive food stations including a s’mores bar, a silent auction featuring items from across the state, and optional screenings of Girl Scout created mini Gold Award documentaries.
To purchase tickets go to gssc-mm.org or call 1-800- 849-GIRL. We hope our media friends will join us for this historical celebration. Please contact Karen Kelly, Director of Marketing and Communications if you would like attend.
In March 2016 the SC Legislature passed a resolution honoring and congratulating Girl Scouts on the Centennial anniversary of the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. We’ve been celebrating these incredible accomplishments all year and hope you will join us in November to recognize the contributions by Girl Scouts.
