Announcement of New Council
Name
Following a polling of delegates at
each of the Annual Meetings of the four merging
councils, the Council Realignment Committee has
adopted Girl Scouts of Western
Ohio as the name for the new merged
Council. The decision was based on the
overwhelming number of votes being cast for that
choice of name.
Launch of New Web Site
We are pleased and excited to
announce that Girl Scouts of Western Ohio will
launch a joint web site on July 2, 2007. The new
web site will be a central source for merger
information. Each council will be maintaining
their current web site for local services and
information. The new combined site will have links
to all four of the current council web sites.
Watch the council web site for a link that will
connect you to the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio web
site.

 Girl Scouts Take the
Wheel
We have a GREAT opportunity for girls to attend
a "Getaway" at Camp Whip Poor Will this
summer. We have received a grant for a
program for girls 14 -17 to attend a week long
program called Take the Wheel.
Take the Wheel is an intensive multi-faceted
expansion of the Buckeye Trails Council's
successful program Cashin' in on Cars and will be
held July 21st-28th, 2007. This project is
designed to encourage girls to take charge of
their future by seriously considering the diverse
educational and career opportunities available to
them in the automotive field. The fee is
$125 for the week with $75 being returned to the
girl after the session to do her own program to
her council or service unit!
Please see the web site for details. If you
have any questions about this Getaway contact, Patti
Davy by email or call
937.279.6521. | |
