Seniors and Ambassadors at Camp Golden Timbers can act as role models to younger campers, earn a Community Service Bar, and work on a Take Action project. Regional Program Centers each feature a STEM Center + MakerSpace and a Girl Scout shop, and the STEM Centers + MakerSpaces host STEM, maker, and design-thinking activities. The Mobile STEM Center + MakerSpace brings these activities to girls across the council’s 18-county region. The mission of Girl Scouts Heart of Central California is to build Girl Scouts of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place, and the council partners with a wide range of organizations throughout its service area to provide girls with unique programs.
