PARTNER GUIDE
2019-2020
1About this book
Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better
place. This mission can be accomplished with the support and assistance of many
program partners. As an integral part of the community, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas is
proud to partner with local businesses, organizations, and community members to deliver
the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to our girls in fun and unique ways.
We encourage our volunteers to take advantage of our program partners for badge earning
workshops, exciting field trips, and engaging experiences. Let this book be your guide to
additional program opportunities for your troop. In addition to the book, visit our website
gsnetx.org/programpartners for the most up-to-date information about our partners.
New partners are being added all the time — you won’t want to miss out!
If specific age level is not listed, and for more complete badge offerings, visit the program partner
webpage or contact the program partner directly.
Fall/Winter event registration for council-hosted events is open now at
