    Girl Scouts, Hornets' Nest Council recognizes that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges and the health and safety of girls and volunteers is always our top priority. Participation in all Girl Scout activities is voluntary and families should make decisions about the inherent risks associated with in-person activities for their girls. Caregivers and troop leaders should review and follow current GSUSA and GSHNC guidelines for all in-person and virtual activities. 

    If you have questions or concerns about a specific activity, please contact GSHNC Customer Care at customercare@hngirlscouts.org or 704-731-6500.
