This message is going out to all Adult Volunteers in Gemini Service Unit
The service unit has a lot of great information to share, and we meet with our troop leaders each month.
The service unit leadership thought we should send a message to all to help spread the word on items we are working on. If you would prefer to not receive these emails in the future, you can unsubscribe at the bottom of this email.
We have a new Ingathering Chair: Melanie Caramama!
She has great ideas for a fun and fresh Ingathering.
We need feedback and planning assistance from our CSA‘s (Cadettes Seniors and Ambassadors) as well as adults and leaders. During our last meeting we received many great ideas and suggestions around dates and locations.
To sign up to be apart of the committee please email your intent / interest to [email protected] by July 1
The committee will post polls on dates and locations for us all to vote on, and we will go towards the most popular items. The polls will be shared on our Facebook group, on our website, and through this email newsletter.
Thank you for participating in this great Girl Scout tradition!
Your service unit leadership is maturing and we are looking for new members to fill and take over roles as our girls bridge to adults!
If you are interested in helping out, please reach out to [email protected]

For volunteers who are seeing this for the first time, and want to stay connected with the Gemini Service Unit for future events and updates, there are several ways to connect:
- This email list – we will send emails out once a month after every service unit leader meeting, and other times where we have important information or reminders to share. If you know someone who would benefit from getting these messages, but is not already on the list, they can sign up at this link
- Our Service Unit Website – geminigirlscouts.org – Links to our calendar, library of things, contact information for the service unit team, notes from our past meetings, and more!
- Service Unit Facebook Group – Follow this link to join the Facebook group. Please send anyone who wishes to join this link instead of inviting them directly from the group, that way we can screen folks and try to keep spam bots out of our group.
- Linktree – https://Linktr.ee/GeminiGSSEF has all our links in one spot!
- Discord – We have a moderated service unit Discord server. It’s available for your use if you need a group chat for planning and organizing, communicating as a committee, or just need to reach someone on the service unit team via chat. It’s available for troop use as well. Join link is here!
We hope everyone is having a great summer and are looking forward to a fun and exciting new Girl Scout year!
