Oct. 31 is the birthday of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts, and Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians (GSCSA) invites you to come to celebrate this special day with us at a free event! Girls are invited to come by the Knoxville Service Center, located at 1567 Downtown West Blvd., on Oct. 31 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm for games, activities, candy, and more! The Girl Scout shop will be open and any girl customer who comes in costume to the shop will receive a one-of-a-kind patch. There will be special deals offered on select shop items! Hangout with us in the parking lot for games and activities while you wait for a chance to go inside. Troops will be set up offering candy Trunk-or-Treat style. Girl Scouts are encouraged to bring a non-member friend and introduce her to the world of Girl Scouts!
“This is both an opportunity for existing Girl Scouts to come to participate in fun and games, and for new girls to learn about Girl Scouts and sign up,” says Heather Mazzouccolo, GSCA Director of East Tennessee Region.
Not a member/don’t know a member but want to know more about Girl Scouts? This event is a great chance for you to learn more about Girl Scouts and get a taste of what it’s like to be a member.
Due to COVID-19, we will be following the Knox County guidelines for Halloween. Cloth face masks will be required (in addition to any costume-related, non-cloth masks). We will only be letting one household into the shop at a time. Physical distancing and hygienic protocols will also be followed.
