The Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians will offer a limited-time extended membership just in time for summer camp registration. Sign up to be a Girl Scout today to get in on summer camp and enjoy an extended annual membership through September 30, 2022.
“So many members tell us that their favorite part about being a Girl Scout is the friendships they make and the community they experience,” said Lynne Fugate, CEO of the Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians. “That’s why we’re thrilled to be able to hold safe summer camps this year and offer an extended membership to young girls who are seeking connection and fun following a challenging year.”
The Girl Scouts will host camps from late June to late July for girls of all ages at Camp Tanasi, a 461-acre wooded and waterfront property along Norris Lake, near Andersonville, Tennessee. Register for summer camp at girlscoutcsa.org.
