Upcoming Events!

In April we celebrated Volunteer Appreciation Month and Girl Scout Leader’s Day on the 22nd! Each and every day we honor all of the volunteers who work

as leaders and mentors in partnership with girls. Thank you for all that you

do, no matter what day it is!

Each year, National Volunteer Week is about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals. Service Unites, the theme for National Volunteer Week, captures the power of change makers who come together to build stronger, more vibrant communities through service.

In thanks, this year’s Volunteer Appreciation Celebration for all GSSNE volunteers and their families is being held on Saturday, June 17, 2017

from 10 am-4 pm at Camp Hoffman. Girl Scout activities, music, food, fun, festivities and door prizes will be provided. We look foward to celebrating with you!

GSSNE has been selected to be one of the recipients of the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce Rocky Point 5K, which will take place on

June 17, 2017. We are looking for participants to run/walk and also for other volunteers to help out the day of the race. We would love to have a Girl Scout team participate in this great day of fun!

Enjoy a scenic run by Narragansett Bay along the City of Warwick’s mile of shoreline in the former amusement park at Rocky Point. Runners and walkers

of all ages are welcome. USATF (USA Track & Field Inc.) sanctioned and certified, this is a great event for competitive runners, families and friends. All proceeds benefit local non-profits enriching and enhancing community. The 2017 recipients are Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England and the American Cancer Society Rhode Island. Race proceeds will expand GSSNE’s Marathon in a Month program, which focuses on getting girls moving and being outdoors, living active and healthy lifestyles, learning about good nutrition and their own bodies.

In addition, a donation will be made to the Rocky Point Foundation

and the Warwick Neck Elementary School.
