Do you want a fun way to connect with other Girl Scouts throughout our council? Do you like receiving letters in the mail? Then join the GSGATL Pen Pal Program today!
During the GSGATL Pen Pal Program, participants will be placed in pen pal pods by their Girl Scout level. A pen pal pod is a group of Girl Scouts who write letters to each other and get to know each other. This is the perfect way to make fun Girl Scout friends in our council and receive many cool letters in the mail!
Participants will also receive special letters from members of the GSGATL staff, some of our amazing program partners, as well as an eclipse kit with special eclipse glasses from our STEM Coordinator.
Your registration includes:
- A kit about the pen pal experience and information about the other people in your pod.
- The material needed to send out the first round of letters to the other Girl Scouts in your pen pal pod.
As a participant you are committing to:
- Send 1 letter a month to each participant in your pod (up to 4 other participants) from March to June 2024. Send 3 or 4 letters a month and receive 3 to 4 letters a month.
- Provide your own stamps, envelopes, paper, stickers, and other supplies to create and mail these letters
- Allow your mailing address to be shared with up to 4 other Girl Scouts in our council
The pen pal program will run from March 2024 to June 2024. After the conclusion of the program, all participants will receive a fun patch.
Registration ends February 19, 2024, but there is a limit to the number of participants. Register today!
Kits will be mailed the week of March 4, 2024.
