Family Partnership Campaign
One More Gift…One More Girl…One More Future
Today girls face many challenges and intense pressures. Now more than ever, girls need Girl Scouts…and the Girl Scouts needs them! You can be assured that when you give to the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast, you are helping girls develop the confidence, the strength of mind, and skills they will need to succeed in life. With your financial support, we can reach out to more girls and give them the Girl Scout advantage!
The Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast Family Partnership Campaign & My Family Shares Patch provides families an opportunity to invest in a girl’s future. In addition to helping develop quality program activities and helping us reach out to more girls in the community, your Family Partnership contribution keeps camp, program activities/events, and adult training fees to a minimum, and helps keep our camps safe and well equipped.
“Why the Family Partnership?”
The Family Partnership Campaign encourages parents to get more involved, and to make a profound difference in the life of a girl. Our goal is for every family to PARTICIPATE!

Leadership Giving
We are setting the standard for the service unit by 100% Troop Leadership participation!
Our troop goal is $195!
That is only $15 per family and we would reach 100% of our goal. There are also incentives for Service Units who reach their goal as well as individual scouts and families who complete their requirements individually.
