Give A Little Love, Girl Scouts!

What better time to spread the love than February?  The "Give a Little Love" donation drive is back!

With the Goodwill “Give A Little Love” Donation Drive and Community Service Project, Girl Scouts are encouraged to collect gently used items for donation to Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania and Goodwill Southern Alleghenies.

Collected goods will be sold in 25 Goodwill Retail Stores to benefit Goodwill’s many programs and services to help individuals with barriers to employment.

As a participant, you will have the opportunity to earn a Goodwill patch recognizing your commitment to your community. And, the top 4 Go-Getters will win a free resident camp session (up to $350).

More girls means more adventure in 2019


From an appreciation of nature to the development of lifelong leadership skills and so much more, we know the benefits of Girl Scouting will positively impact how a girl performs in school, in clubs and sports, and in her career someday.

It's time to pass those benefits on to more girls and get ready to have even more fun and adventures in 2019! From Nov. 26-Jan. 4, troops* will be rewarded when two or more new girls join.

 Here's how it works:
  • Add two new girls to your troop and receive $15 in your troop account.** 
  • Add three new girls to your troop and receive $20 in your troop account.** 
  • Add four new girls to your troop and receive $25 in your troop account.** 
  • Add five new girls to your troop and receive $35 in your troop account.** 
  • Add six or more new girls to your troop and receive $40 in your troop account.** 
*Troops must have at least two active troop leaders registered into the Troop Leader role to qualify. If you have over 12 girls, troops must be at correct Troop Ratio to qualify.
**Prizes will be distributed to troop accounts after January 21, 2019.

Need to display your troop or to open more spots in your troop? Fill out the Troop Opportunity Catalog and Information Update form. Make sure to update your troop meeting information if you haven’t had the chance to yet this year.

If you have questions, reach out to our Customer Care team at customercare@gswpa.org or call 800-248-3355.

Pass on the wonders of Girl Scouting to a girl, and we'll pass a prize on to you!
