A plea for help from all you women from someone who's been in Scouting for over (ahem) 40 years--we need help! Badly! If your group is looking for a local philanthropy, please call your local Scout office!
We need leaders, assistants, people to help with projects in special areas like outdoor activities, arts and crafts, music--you name it! You don't have to sign up for a weekly commitment;even one-time commitments are great. For example, a troop would love it if you could do a three-hour workshop on, say, jewelry making or outdoor cooking or volleyball.
The Girl Scout webpage lists all the councils in the country; I think it's
