No crickets but fall is on the way ...

September 2, 2013

Dear Girl Scout Family

I haven't heard a cricket yet but the calendar is about to turn to September so fall is upon us. Hopefully you've had a great summer with time for relaxation and enjoying your seasonal Wisconsin and Minnesota favorite activities.

Over the coming weeks we'll be announcing lots of fun and exciting activities we have coming up for the 2013-14 membership year. Keep the fun coming! Re-register online today! If you've already re-registered, THANK YOU!

Have a fantastic week, Girl Scouts!
