CREATING CAMP ARTEMIS SOUTH - Volunteers Needed! Camp Artemis and Artemis Leadership Training Adventure (ALTA) are the two parts of an exciting and innovative outdoor leadership program of the Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast.
Due to the demand, GSCCC is interested in establishing a second Camp Artemis in the southern part of our council by 2017. We cannot do this without dedicated adult volunteers. If you are interested in becoming an adult volunteer for Camp Artemis South, please contact Melissa Baffa, VP of Program and Volunteer Services at mbaffa@girlscoutsccc.org or 805-232-3984.

WELCOME TO THE 2015 FALL PRODUCT SALE PROGRAM!
Troops earn funds for troop activities at the start of the Girl Scout year. Girl Scouts ask friends and families to help support their troop and council by renewing their favorite magazines, subscribing to new ones, and ordering nuts & candy items.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS Two components (Magazines and Nuts & Candies); girls are encouraged to offer both products to friends and family.
To Learn more, visit the Fall Product Sale webpage and make sure a troop representative attends Service Unit Training.
