This week, Girl Scouts Louisiana East will unveil “Girl Scouts on the Go,” a fully outfitted van which will travel around the 23 parishes served by GSLE.
“Girl Scouts on the Go” will deliver uniforms, badges, patches, learning resources and materials needed by volunteers where they live, work and go to school.
The new mobile shop will ensure that distance, transportation limitations and operating hours will never be a barrier to girls having the full Girl Scout Experience and volunteers getting what they need to effectively lead troops.
The mobile shop will begin serving the southeast Louisiana community upon its unveiling Thursday afternoon.
GSLE serves Girl Scouts of every socioeconomic background and geographic region in southeast Louisiana from urban New Orleans to rural Washington Parish. Recognizing the great need to ensure all areas in southeast Louisiana are equitably served, GSLE secured grant funding to create this accessible alternative.
The Grand Unveiling of “Girl Scouts on the Go” will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 10, at the Capitol Park Museum in Baton Rouge. The event is open to the media and will include brief remarks by Girl Scouts Louisiana East CEO Dr. Rebecca Pennington. In addition, each participant who makes a purchase during the event will receive a free gift of Girl Scout merchandise.
