WELCOME TO GIRL SCOUTS OF MICHIGAN SHORE TO SHORE'S NEW WEB SITE!

Staff, volunteers, and our web designer have taken the ideas and suggestions of many and tried our best to develop a site that is fun and interactive for girls, as well as helpful and informative for current and potential volunteers, families, and supporters. We have merged information from all the legacy councils and developed new resources--all to help our members and supporters transition into this exciting new era of Girl Scouting in Northwestern Michigan! It is our goal for this site to be an effective tool for Girl Scouts of all ages by being relevant and interactive, so please visit regularly and give us your feedback!
