Girl Scouts of Connecticut Hosts Recruiting Event at Quassy Sept 29th

If Quassy Amusement Park looks like a sea of green on Sunday, September 29, 2024, it’s the “Calling All Girl Scouts” recruiting event hosted by Girl Scouts of Connecticut (GSOFCT). The fun function, which runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the popular family destination in Middlebury, Conn., serves as the non-profit organization’s official kickoff to the new membership year, offering information on the benefits of membership, exciting fall programs, as well as activity stations with GSOFCT staff.

“We expect that “Calling All Girl Scouts” will be one of our most popular events as it brings together both current and prospective Girl Scouts of all ages and levels, who can learn about the lifelong skills, underlying values and engaging activities that our premier girls’ organization offers,” said Elicia Pegues Spearman, CEO of Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “The spirit of camaraderie, mentorship and support will be alive and well at this fun and productive function.”

Spearman notes that registration costs $35 per person and includes free parking, an all-day ride pass, access to the Quassy pavilion for a catered lunch, peer-led activity stations and a fun patch. She expects attendees will include all the levels of Girl Scouts from Daisies to Ambassadors, their friends and anyone interested in joining the organization.

“We hope that anyone who has any questions about Girl Scouts, joins us at Quassy for this kick-off event which, promises interactive fun, the opportunity to meet GSOFCT staff, and obtain favorite items from our Girl Scouts shop to enter the new school year in style!” adds Spearman.

The “Calling All Girl Scouts” event is open to all girls in grades K-12 with an adult chaperone. To register, visit www.gsofct.org. For our current members, ask us about transportation support by contacting Customer Care at 800-922-2770; CustomerCare@gsofct.org.

About Girl Scouts of Connecticut

Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Girl Scouts offers our youth a leadership experience that sets them on a path to develop a strong sense of self, learn positive values and build healthy relationships through 4 pillars intentionally embedded in their variety of activities: STEAM, Entrepreneurship, Life Skills and Outdoors. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
