Welcome to Girl Scouts of Winema Council
where building girls with courage, confidence and character,
who make the world a better place is our number one job. Here
in Winema Council developing leaders is what we are all about.
With nearly 2000 girl members and 600 adult volunteers we offer
a wide variety of programs, events, workshops and opportunities
for adventure to any girl 5-17 years old. Currently, we serve
girls in Southern Oregon and Northern California —from
the coast, through the mountains, to the high desert. With
our unique mix of remote rural areas, small towns and urban
centers, ours is a diverse council. Please join us in the Girl
Scout adventure.
Changes Afoot
Driven by the new realities of our ever-changing
world, Girl Scouts is undergoing unprecedented Movement-wide
changes to align our operations with our vision of meeting
the needs and challenges of girls today and in the future (Core
Business Strategy).
The Movement-wide transformation is focused on clearly defining
our leadership development program, strengthening our volunteer
structure, and realigning councils—the Girl
Scouts of Winema Council is engaged in all of these plans.
In
October of 2007, Northern Siskiyou County and Del Norte County
in California , currently part of Winema Council, will join the
newly formed Girl
Scouts of Northern California Council. Also
in October, the Oregon counties in Winema Council will begin
planning for realignment with other councils in Oregon and the
Portland Metropolitan area to become a new council. These council
realignments will create greater resources for the girls and
volunteers in the form of more program opportunities, choices
of properties, and more ways to be involved in Girl Scouts. We
look forward to what lies ahead. Visit the new Council
Realignment Committe (CRC) web site and get to know our partners in the
new council by visiting their current websites (Western
Rivers, Santiam, Columbia
River and
Silver Sage).
Girl Scout Promise & Law
The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by
every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the
way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and
other people, and the Law outlines a way to act towards one another
and the world.
