This is a game-changer for our girls. The Cathy Novinger Girl Scout Leadership Center is positioned to be a premier destination for girls and young women in our council as well as across the southeast and the country. The leadership center has just taken a pivotal step in that process with construction beginning and a renewed commitment from statewide leaders to aid our girls in their development and growth.

This year, we added new Journeys and badges in STEM and the outdoors! As we encourage girls to explore the outdoors with courage, confidence, and character with these new badges and Journeys, we are planning a celebration of female leadership in connection with the outdoors for this fall! We will come together as a community to celebrate the power of G.I.R.L. and the Girl Scout Difference. Watch for more details as we get closer to our Back in the Woods event!

Girl Scouts prepares girls for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure. Our new PSA features inspiring Girl Scout alums who show how an unstoppable woman on a powerful mission can make huge impact. They’ve changed the world---and that’s a job for a Girl Scout!

Girl Scouts is the world's largest and best leadership organization for girls. Period. We focus on giving girls meaningful, unique experiences that allow them to step up and speak out, take risks in a safe space, and find their spark. During Girl Scout Week, girls from both our council, and Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina spent their week at the State House meeting their elected officials, serving as their pages on the House and Senate Floors, and learning the political process with hands-on experiences.

On Sunday, May 6, GSSC-MM honored 129 Silver Award Girl Scouts and 36 Gold Award Girl Scouts at the 2018 Gold & Silver Award Ceremony.  Earning the Gold and Silver Award means much more than a certificate and pin.  The Gold and Silver Awards, the highest honors that a Girl Scout can earn, represents how a Girl Scout can be a Go-Getter to create a solution for change, an Innovator to uniquely implement a new method, a Risk Taker to go beyond barriers, and a Leader who is focused on results.
