Introducing New Winter Challenge—Presented by GSRV Girl Leadership Board


Girl Leadership Board Presents a New Winter Challenge for GSRV Girl Scouts

Patches for the Girl Leadership Board Winter Challenge are now available for purchase at Girl Scouts River Valleys shop locations.

The Girl Scouts River Valleys Girl Leadership Board challenges all River Valleys Girl Scouts to a winter of fun adventures and cozy moments by participating in the Girl Leadership Board Winter Challenge.
