A Year in the Life of Swift Water Girl Scouts - 2008

Girl Scouting happens all year round!  Many service units establish a calendar for the year.  This allows troops to plan ahead to support their goals and plans.  Use the following calendar as a guide when working with your troop or service team to develop goals and evaluate progress throughout the year.  It is our hope to give you information about each of the special events that happen during the Girl Scout year.  More information about these dates may be found in your Current newsletter.
