Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania

Adult Leadership Weekend
Camp Mosey Wood
September 19-21, 2008
A special part of being a Girl Scout is all the friendships made! Join us at the 2008 Fall Adult Lead and Learn (F.A.L.L.) Weekend and discover some new “Bridges to Friendship.” What could be better than an autumn weekend designed just for you, the Girl Scout adult? F.A.L.L. is a getaway weekend:

where you’ll learn fun projects and activities that will benefit you and the girls you work with
where you’ll meet old friends and new ones and experience the sisterhood of Girl Scouting
where you’ll have time to relax and laugh and enjoy the outdoors

Congratulations Heather Fesmire
of Ambler Pennsylvania!
Heather's design (above) was chosen by GSEP staff as the winner of the GSEP Patch Contest. Her entry received 38 out of a possible 174 votes cast. Her design of our new Council Patch is now on sale in our shops!

The second runner up with 30 votes was Patty Sturz of Reading. Tied for third place were Anya Peascheck of Upper Darby and Makenzie Beltz of Abington. Twenty-one very creative finalists were chosen from hundreds of wonderful entries. Those finalists were published on the Council intranet so the entire staff could vote for their favorite. Thank you to all the entrants and voters for making our contest a success.

Adult Camping Weekend
COME BE A KID AGAIN! Don’t miss a weekend of Girl Scout fun designed for every adult who is a Girl Scout at heart. Over the years, the Adult Camping Weekend has grown to become a beloved tradition of the Girl Scout family. This is your opportunity as a Girl Scout alumna to come together and participate in great activities, dine on delectable home cooked cuisine, and “make new friends but keep the old.” In a word, it’s all about FUN! Download the form and return to Pamela Bryman, GSEP, P.O. Box 27540, Philadelphia, PA 19118. For more info or to register contact Pamela Bryman at pbryman@gsep.org or 215.564.2030, ext.1044.

The Program Event Planner 2008-09
The Program Event Planner contains Council-sponsored events and registration information, and will be posted online quarterly. It is intended as a companion piece to the Program Resource Manual, which you will receive in late September. Keep the Program Resource Manual all year long as a comprehensive reference. It will once again contain information about GSEP including our Program Partners' advertisements. But now, to help you plan exciting events and activities, you can look for new editions of the Event Planner online, every 3 months, with new and exciting seasonal and special things to do. We designed them separately in response to your need for a streamlined way of gleaning information from the myriad of events and programming opportunities. If you would like a printed version of the Event Planner, please email Sharon Pirelli at spirelli@gsep.org.

Daytime Pajama Parties
to Benefit Needy Families
September 13th, 2-4:00 pm
at Oxford Valley Mall , Langhorne
September 27th, 2-4:00 pm
at Fairgrounds Square Mall, Reading
Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania and Radio Disneyare throwing daytime Pajama Parties this fall, but PJ’s are not part of the required dress for these affairs. Instead, girls and their families attending the GSEP Pajama Parties are being asked to bring a set of new pajamas for children of underprivileged families. At the same time, girls will be able to rock out with Radio Disney, who will offer music, dancing and a trivia contest to win a Camp Rock Prize Pack and a poster signed by Camp Rock star Demi Lovato. Girls attending can also learn about and register for Girl Scouts.

Program Partners
Another resource for programs and events is the Program Partners listing. Browse through the Program Partners listed in this PDF and sign up for events directly with our partners. Each of the Partners listed has a program description and contact information so that you can find a date that is suitable for your troop. Check back often because when we find new Program Partners or create new Council sponsored events we will add them to the listing.

Plan a Birthplace Heritage Visit
The Juliette Gordon Low Girl Scout National Center is located in downtown Savannah. It was the Gordon family home where Daisy Gordon (Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon) was born on October 31, 1860. In 1965, it became Savannah’s first designated National Historic Landmark. The Birthplace is one of the most popular house museums in the United States and welcomed its two-millionth visitor in 2001. Throughout the year, Girl Scout troops have the opportunity to meet other troops from all over the country and share activities. Visitors always include a mixture of families, individuals, whole Girl Scout troops, alumnae Girl Scouts, and the touring public from all over the world! Find out more...
