Volunteer Support

Donations to Tongass Alaska Girl Scout Council stay within SE Alaska to directly benefit girls in the following ways:

  1. attend Camp Feather Winds Resident camp at a price that is affordable to most girls. In 2008, Camp Feather Winds cost will be only $200 per girl for 6 days of camp. It is the goal of Tongass Alaska Girl Scout Council to allow every girl the opportunity to attend.  This is possible with everyone’s financial support.
  2. attend one of 10 Council supported Day camps throughout SE Alaska.  Day Camps provide opportunities for girls to participate in community wide groups outside of a troop setting, introduce Girl Scouting to girls and adults in SE communities.
  3. attend Camp Feather Winds resident camp at a reduced cost through financial aid called a “campership”. In addition to the cost of camp, most Girl Scouts in SE Alaska live in communities which can only access Juneau by ferry or by airplane.  Costs to travel to Juneau by ferry for Resident Camp can be as high as $400 for a girl over the age of 12. By donating to the Council more girls can attend Camp Feather Winds because of camperships.
  4. participate in community events such as babysitting training, Thinking Day, First Aid/CPR, “Odd Girl Out” (anti-bullying), Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Personal Safety, Mother/Daughter tea, Father/Daughter dances, Early Bird registration.
  5. become a Girl Scout – assist in paying registration fees, uniform costs, and event fees  
  6. attend Destination Camps outside of SE Alaska. As the result of donations girls have attended Destinations. In 2007,  17 Tongass Alaska Girl Scouts from 4 different SE Alaska communities participated in Minnesota Dreams, a destination camp attended by over 2,000 Girl Scouts from across the United States.
  7. donations help purchase and/or rent supplies and equipment used in Girl Scout events such as kayaks, first aid supplies, microscopes, robotic computers. 

Donations also girls indirectly benefit from having trained volunteer leaders who can coach, mentor, train and guide girls to develop leadership skills and 15 leadership outcomes* (see Uniquely Girl Scouts) to the fulfillment of the Girl Scout mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
