Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. Visit our website at the link below to make an online donation. For 26 years we have been assisting Girl Scouts of the Riverside United Service Unit who want to go to summer Girl Scout camp. Last year we assisted 17 Scouts with partial or full camperships. We hope to assist more Scouts in 2026. Our goal on Giving Tuesday is to raise $600 which is the average cost of one week at camp. Every cent donated benefits the Girl Scouts of the Bristol, Croydon and Levittown communities. Two early donations totaling $150 got us started. Just $450 needed to meet our goal! Thanks in advance for your generosity!

I just learned that one of our dedicated donors passed away today. Eddie Fluke was a true friend of Girl Scouts. She was one of the old timers and knew Katherine MacDonald and Peg Potterton. Her donation this year included a note that she hoped it would benefit Girl Scouts in Croydon. Two girls received camperships from her donation. Eddie will be missed but she will be remembered for her kindness always.
