Become a Community Partner
Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent leadership development organization for girls, building girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. A Community Partner is an organization or business that would like to partner with Girl Scouts of Manitou Council to provide opportunities to local Girl Scouts. This Community Partner guide and Application is part of the process to ensure that girls are receiving quality experiences, centered on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. By promoting information on our council web site, girls, their parents and adult volunteers will know where to look for exciting opportunities offered by Community Partners. We will review your event/activity with you to make sure it is aligned with the appropriate Girl Scout grade level resources.
- To become a Community Partner an organization or business must submit an application annually. After we receive and review your application you will be contacted by a member of our staff to discuss promotion of your event(s) or program activity you plan to offer to Girl Scouts.
- If your application is approved you will be invoiced for promotion of your events based on the fee scale listed below.
As a community partner with Girl Scouts of Manitou we agree to:
- Have all marketing materials approved by Girl Scouts of Manitou prior to printing final
publication. - Provide outlines/curriculum for activities to be completed at event.
- Provide Girl Scouts of Manitou Council with reports of participation rate for each program
activity/event held by community partner by December 1 of each year.
