Ongoing Programs
Comfort Kits
Comfort Kits is a program that can be held anywhere and in any community. Girls from all over the council are asked to collect certain items per month then gather to compile all the items and put them into a backpack that goes directly to children in need. In the Boise area troops collect items for backpacks (Comfort Kits) for children who are placed into foster care. We work with St. Luke's F.A.C.E.S. to distribute the backpacks to these children. In the Eastern part of the council we collect Comfort Kits for Rose Advocates that helps women and children dealing with domestic violence. If you would like to take part in this program click here for more information. If you (troop leader, volunteer, Service Unit Director, or parent) are interested in this program and want to develop the program in your area please contact me at programchat@girlscouts-ssc.org

Girl Scouts Green Book Café - Virtual Book Club!, Council-Wide
Start Strong Idaho Building Healthy Teen Relationships will host an online book club for Girl Scouts. Today, many teens have been involved or have had friends involved in unhealthy relationships. Start Strong Idaho is a project through the Idaho Coalition against Sexual & Domestic Violence, aimed at promoting the development of healthy relationships skills for 13-15 year olds. The book Dreamland by Sarah Dessen is about a young girl, Caitlin, who falls in love with an abusive guy and how this unhealthy relationship affects Caitlin and her family. This Book Club is a great opportunity to read and learn about how important it is to have the knowledge of what a healthy relationship looks like, feels like, and sounds like.
