Connections News for Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council supporters
Winter 2025
Last year, girls in our council earned over 95,000 badges — each one a step toward courage, curiosity, and confidence in STEM, Entrepreneurship, Life Skills, and the Outdoors.
Closing the Year With Impact — Your Gifts Build Life-Ready Leaders As we wrap up the year, we’re celebrating the incredible growth and achievements of Girl Scouts across Southeast Texas — girls like Beatrice, whose story reminds us why your support matters. “Hello, I’m Beatrice. I’m 10 years old and have been a Girl Scout since I was 5. My troop started so my preschool friends could stay in touch, even though we went to different schools. It worked — we’re still close, and now our troop includes girls from over 12 schools! Girl Scouts means friendship to me.” Beatrice’s favorite activities include camping, STEM projects, and volunteering at the animal shelter for her Bronze Award. Thanks to her older Girl Scout mentor, Lilly, she learned about robotics and Did you know? discovered her passion for coding. “I want to be a biomedical engineer. I have Crohn’s disease, and I’d love to help find a cure. Girl Scouts has given me the confidence and courage to believe I can,” Lilly said. Thanks to supporters like you, girls like Beatrice are building sisterhood, discovering new passions, and dreaming big. Please consider a year-end gift to Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council. Gifts can be designated in one or more of the following areas: • CampHER Campaign — Revitalize Camp Agnes Arnold, Misty Meadows Ranch, Camp Robinwood and Casa Mare. • Program Support — Strengthen the core Girl Scout leadership experience for girls. • Camperships — Remove financial barriers so every girl can attend camp. Together, we can ensure that ALL girls have access to the benefits of Girl Scouts and empower them to make the world a better place!
