About Family Partnership
Who knows better than Girl Scout families the difference that Girl Scouts makes in the lives of girls? Girl Scouting opens doors, creates new opportunities, and helps girls develop confidence, character and life-skills.
The Family Partnership Campaign is an annual opportunity for families of adult and girl members to partner with Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. Family Partnership funds ensure that Girl Scouting is available to all girls and keeps programs and services affordable. All Family Partnership gifts stay within our council and are an investment that will make a difference in girls today and pave the way for future generations of leaders.
We need your help to reach this goal! Please donate now and talk to other Girl Scout parents about the importance of supporting Family Partnership. Every donation makes a difference in the lives of girls today and tomorrow as we pave the way for future generations of female leaders.
This year’s Family Partnership Campaign goal is $50,000. Together families across our 18 Districts can make a difference! Give Girl Scouting to a girl who might not otherwise be able to participate. Making a tax-deductible donation of $25 or more earns your daughter(s) the coveted Family Partnership patch or segment.
