PEP sessions provide an opportunity for busy adults to drop-in, pick up resources; talk to an “expert” on various Girl Scout topics and share concerns. PEP session dates are published in Neighborhood Announcements and on the council Web site, and are held at the Emerson and Hannibal Resource Centers, and in rural areas of Districts 10, 11, 12, and 14 in the fall and spring.

PEP packets highlight resources and services of the GSEM resource centers. Each packet explores a specific topic, offers activities, games, crafts and resources to enhance troop/ group program.
