Alumnae-Reconnect!
Many Girl Scout parents, volunteers and community leaders--just like you--have fond memories of their Girl Scout experience. Whether you were a Girl Scout as a young girl or at any time as an adult, we offer you the opportunity to remember your past and celebrate the future of Girl Scouting by becoming a member of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois Alumnae Association.
Meet old friends and make new ones, keep current on what is currently happening in Girl Scouts and support that effort in whatever way you choose. Some members are active Girl Scout volunteers, while others were active years ago. Some are young, while others are young at heart. All are welcome to join. Many fun events are planned throughout the year for those who want to attend. For more information about Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois Alumnae Association, please e-mail Alumnae@GSEIWI.org.
