Dear Girl Scouts, Volunteers, and Family Members,
I want to share with you an important update about Girl Scouts of
Gulfcoast Florida’s council headquarters. After careful review of our
council’s budget and programs, we have decided to close our retail
shop on October 23, 2020.
Over the past few years, we have witnessed a national shift to
online shopping, and COVID-19 has accelerated that trend. We recognize
that closing the retail shop is a loss to many across our council, but
it is the best decision for our girls. Funds traditionally used to
operate the shop will be redirected toward programming and technology
that will enhance the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for all our
council members. Our Girl Scout Law asks that we do our best to use
resources wisely, and we believe we are honoring those words with this action.
Although our headquarters and the shop are currently closed to the
public because of COVID-19 precautions, shop staff will process orders
until October 23. Please review our FAQs for shop hours,
procedures, and virtual shop-from-home options, and watch our website
and Facebook for special promotions. We will continue to share
additional details as they develop.
After October 23, our members can order their uniforms, badges, and
membership essentials through GSUSA’s online shop at girlscoutshop.com. GSGCF
council patches will still be available for purchase through our
council. We will provide information about that process soon.
