Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson Mission Moment
June, 2008
Catskill Mountain Canoers, just one of the groups of Girl Scouts representing
Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson during the
General Clinton Canoe Regatta
in front of the Saugerties Lighthouse at low tide.
Girls showed their courage to face the water during the competition, their confidence as they polished their skills, their character as they worked together as a team. Their dedication and leadership developed through their work will be a foundation in all they do to
make the world a better place.

Girl Sponsorship
You can make a significant difference in the life of a girl by becoming a Girl Scout sponsor. Consider a gift of $250.00 or more to sponsor a girl that cannot afford her books, pins and uniform. Help a girl develop character, self-esteem, decision-making skills and a commitment to service.

Camperships
Some girls would never go to camp without financial support. It is an adventure that is the single most remembered experience of our alumnae. A gift of $250 will make camp possible for a girl – providing a life long memory of the adventure, fun, friendship and learning in an outdoor setting.
