GSWPA S'more Girl Scout Year 2016-17 | Page 4

Adventure Awaits! Find it at gswpa.org/activities Check out all our Activities on our website! Registration for council activities, such as programs, trainings, camp, and council events, got a whole lot better this year! Here’s how it’s been improved: 1 Single log-in with MyGS: Complete activities and membership registration, access the Volunteer Toolkit, troop and family information and more using the same login information. 2 More robust event information: When browsing the Activities list on our website, prices and details on whether an activity is full or cancelled are easily visible without having to log in to your MyGS account. When you log in to your MyGS account you can add an activity to your cart to save for future registration. 3 Final payment is complete once you hit the payment button: You can cancel your registration at any time prior to the payment stage – you no longer need to call GSWPA. (After the payment stage, you’ll still need to contact GSWPA for support with cancellations. We're happy to help!) 4 Detailed, itemized receipts: Print or email receipts to parents or troop leaders at checkout, making financial records a breeze! Emergency contact and buddy information, where applicable, will also be included in the itemized receipt. 5 Partial payments can be made online: For activities offering deferred payment options, you can now make payments online through MyGS. 6 View all activities you’re registered for: Go to the My Activities tab in MyGS to see all of the activities you are currently registered for, including any activities needing completed payment. 7 Activities can be added to your Volunteer Toolkit: Troop leaders using the Volunteer Toolkit can add activities and all their details can be populated to their Year Plan, making planning for upcoming activities even easier! 4 Visit gswpa.org to view all of our activities. Every Girl Scout experience is unique because girls get to choose their own adventures. That’s why we offer lots of options. Here’s what we have to offer and where you can find it. Sign Up for GSWPA Activities Earn your Horseback Riding badge. Find your inner Thomas Edison at the Invention Convention. Or, jumpstart your Journey for the year while enjoying a great day at camp. We’re constantly updating our Activities calendar with a range of opportunities. Some programs will be run by your local GSWPA staff and some will be led by our local Program Partners who are the experts in their fields. No matter what, you’re sure to have a great time! Just visit gswpa.org/activities to start your adventure. See a program that you like but the date or time doesn’t work? Let us know at [email protected]. If there’s enough demand, we may be able to add an additional session. Schedule Your Own Adventure Connect with an approved Program Partner in your area to set up an activity at a time that works for your troop. Brownies can work on their Bugs badge at the zoo. Cadettes can take a dance class with the local ballet. Seniors and Ambassadors can plan a trip to Savannah using a trusted local tour group. Program Partners meet GSWPA’s standards for safe, quality Girl Scout programs. We’re always building new partnerships across our council, so be sure to regularly check out the Activities section of our website.
