Community Partners

Our community partners have a special relationship with us. They are working hard to provide badge and journey opportunities for our local girl scouts. They will often offer community service opportunities and are willing to mentor girls who would like to work with them on a leadership project.

Our San Diego Council also has terrific Community Partners and don’t forget to check out Community Partners in neighboring councils, like this page in Orange County, for great ideas for fun day trips!

  • Blanca had to cancel the September round-up due to a scheduling conflict so the next round-up will be in October. It’s the 24th from 6 – 7:30 pm at McMillin. We just found out the date last week and I’m sorry we haven’t had the chance to pass that along yet. We’re also looking tentatively at November 14th, 6 – 7:30 pm, location TBD.

  • Hello, I see the tentative schedule has a round up listed on the 11th of Sept. has this been confirmed, and if so, where will it be located. I am in the bonita area looking to become a troop leader/volunteer, but have been unable to attend previous round ups. Any information you can offer is greatly appreciated!
