GSEP Video and Public Service Announcements! Check out our new video starring our very own Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania! We will use this video to support our development efforts, membership and enrollment events, community outreach, volunteer training and parent orientations.

GSEP Graphic Standards Manual
All Girl Scout products and communications materials, and the images and phrases featured on them, serve to enhance Girl Scouts’ brand voice and mission. We need to be clear and consistent about the messages we convey. Everyone in Girl Scouting has a role in protecting the Girl Scout name and
marks against unauthorized, inconsistent and unlicensed use to ensure that we speak with one voice. This manual should be used as a guide. If you need master artwork or have any questions as to the application of these policies, please contact Jenny Kontos, Senior Designer, at jkontos@gsep.org or Rosemarie Jones, Creative Director, at rjones@gsep.org
