A Generous Sponsorship from Healthy Blue Offers Girl Scouts Endless Opportunities
May 10, 2022
A healthy lifestyle can look many ways. It can be a walk on one of our camp trails, carving out some time to sit down and read a book, taking a yoga class with a friend, or simply sleeping. Thanks to our friends at Healthy Blue Nebraska, access to an even healthier lifestyle is right in front of you!
Previously known as WellCare, Healthy Blue Nebraska and Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska have an impactful and long-standing partnership. Healthy Blue Nebraska is giving GSSN a $10,000 sponsorship to support individual girl members and troops in leading a healthy lifestyle.
Here are some ways you can participate:
A New Patch Program
This patch program is all about helping you explore healthy habits and how to feel good about yourself. Available for all levels, this program takes you through different steps focused on ways to implement healthy habits. Steps include: Get Moving, Eat Right, Be the Best You, Believe in Yourself, and Explore and Express Your Emotions.
Registered Girl Scout Spirit of Nebraska members can claim this free patch here while supplies last.
