Wilson Creek Elementary School

Is your daughter ready for a year filled with fun, friendship, and confidence? Come discover what Manhattan Girl Scouts has to offer at our Family Information Night!
Girl Scouts gives girls a place to be themselves, make new friends, try new things, and build confidence along the way. From dancing and exploring the stars to helping others and discovering new interests, Girl Scouts gives girls opportunities to learn, grow, and have fun together.
What Girl Scout opportunities are available?
There are new Girl Scout opportunities forming in Manhattan! A new kindergarten troop is currently getting started, and we are also exploring the possibility of forming an additional first-grade troop if there is enough interest and support. There are also a limited number of openings in some of the other grade levels. Come learn about the opportunities, meet other families, ask questions, and see what might work for your family.
Parents: Please stay for a brief informational meeting where you'll learn how to get your daughter involved, what local troop opportunities are available, and how you can support her Girl Scout experience.
Girls: Fun activities will be provided while parents attend the meeting!
Whether you're completely new to Girl Scouts or have been curious about getting involved, this is a great opportunity to learn more. You don't need to make a commitment to attend—just come see what's possible!
Take the first step toward friendships that last forever!
Thursday, September 17 6:00 p.m. Wilson Creek Elementary School
