 Love in the Box
Love in a Box are gifts, those bundles of joy which brighten the lives of children in need each Holiday Season. This is a Paris wide community service project, which is lead by a team at the American Cathedral. This first phase of this project is the Box Packing Party, traditionally held the first weekend in December. The second phase involves Girl Scouts making additional boxes -- individually, as a family or troop for a determined age group to drop off at the Cathedral mid December. Don’t miss this event! It's always great fun, and all ages are welcome. Thousands of gifts are sent to underprivileged children in Paris, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Bulgaria and Kabul. Please join in and make a difference in the world!

 Spring Campout
Over a spring weekend, we set up tents, cook out, sing around the campfire and trade SWAPS!! An event for the entire Neighborhood and usually takes place the first or second weekend in June. |
There are many ways for girls and adults to get involved in Girl Scouting, called "pathways." Girls may choose to participate in troops or groups for fun and friendship, and do not have to be in a troop to enjoy the Girl Scout experience. Adult support strengthens girls’ experiences; simply match your expertise, skills, interests, and life experiences to the opportunities available.
