Lehman Award Union League Good Citizenship Award The National Girl Scout Pen Pal Network Are you interested in expanding your troops friendship circle? Girl Scouts is all about making friends. And there’s no better way to expand your troop’s circle of friends than to join the Girl Scout Pen Pal Network. The National Girl Scout Pen Pal Network connects Brownie, Junior, and older girl troops with girls across the country to form lasting friendships. As participants in this program, troops (not individuals) are asked to correspond with pen pals for at least one year after the link is made. To participate, fill out our Pen Pal Request Form. Troops should not contact other councils directly. Is your troop from another council? Please contact the Pen Pal Coordinator at your council. In order to ensure girls' safety, Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania will only match girls from other councils who have come through their council's Pen Pal Coordinators. Pen Pal Guidelines Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania is a member of the National Girl Scout Pen Pal Network. We are able to make links with troops in other Girl Scout Councils in the United States, depending on availability. Daisies are not eligible for pen pals. All troops matched through the Girl Scout Pen Pal Network are expected to maintain correspondence for at least one year. Pen Pal troops are not currently available through the network in Hawaii or Alaska. Correspondence is for troops, not individuals. Leaders may not give personal contact information of participating girl scouts. Occasionally a pen pal match can be made for a single Juliette; however this process can take up to 2 months. It is okay to exchange pictures through the pen pal network. How to get started The troop decides together if they want to be a pen pal with another troop in the US. Complete the Girl Scout Pen Pal Request Form. Wait while the Council finds a troop that is looking for a pen pal. This generally takes 2 weeks. You will receive a notification email from the Pen Pal Coordinator that includes how to contact the pen pal troop's leader. You can choose to write a letter or email from the whole troop OR each girl and leader can write her own. Questions? Please contact Kandace Keefer at kkeefer@gsep.org, or 215.564.4657 extension 1024.		Interactive Journey Map What makes a great Girl Scout year?

Plan a Birthplace Heritage Visit The Juliette Gordon Low Girl Scout National Center is located in downtown Savannah, GA. The townhouse, completed in 1821, is furnished as it was in 1886, the year of the earthquake. The Girl Scouts of the USA purchased the house in 1953. After extensive restoration, it was opened in 1956 as a Girl Scout program center and historic house museum. In 1965, it became Savannah’s first designated National Historic Landmark. The house is open to Girl Scout troops, tour groups and the general public. Throughout the year, Girl Scout troops have the opportunity to meet other troops from all over the country and share activities. Find out more... We want to hear your story!
