Dear Girl Scout Families and Volunteers,

At Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE), there is nothing we take more seriously than the safety and well-being of our girls, volunteers, and council staff. GSWISE will continue to take all possible and appropriate measures to ensure girls have a safe, fun, one-of-a-kind experience at Girl Scouts – including opportunities like our new Girl Scouts at Home virtual leadership experience!

While there are still many details to finalize, we thank our members and supporters for your continued patience while our council has worked to take important steps necessary to minimize exposure to COVID-19 and its spread while doing our best to continue to provide a quality Girl Scout experience.

 

We strongly encourage our Girl Scout community to follow all official Girl Scout, local, county, state, and federal guidance, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for safe and healthy practices. For the most up to date information and guidance relevant to GSWISE during this rapidly evolving public health crisis, please visit us here at gswise.org or contact our Customer Care Team at 800-565-4475 or customercare@gswise.org to learn more.

GSWISE Family Updates
Helpful Links

We will continue to closely monitor official local, county, state, and federal guidance, and will be prepared to disseminate new, relevant information to our members and their families as it becomes available.

Please remember that the best protection is self-protection and self-monitoring, especially in this flu season. The CDC has also put together this helpful handout on what you can do to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

For additional information, including resources for how you can talk to your girl about COVID-19, please visit the links below:

Girl Scouts at Home

When girls take the lead, great things happen! Even though your girl’s daily routine may have changed, there are many ways she can still participate in Girl Scout activities and earn awards, even at home! We're offering resources and ideas for Girl Scouts of all levels to help you get started. Check out "Girl Scouts at Home" weekly for Girl Scout programming, curriculum, and other surprise and delight activities.
