Claire Bear Camp
Cynthia Heath, former board chair for Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, has left a legacy for our organization with her time, talent and treasure for more than a decade. During Heath’s tenure as board chair, Girl Scouts accomplished tremendous milestones including: Designing, developing, and opening the Berges Family Girl Scout Program Center in Maryland Heights, MO., serving as hub for Girl Scouts to experience innovative programming with expert collaborators Celebrating the organization’s 100th anniversary with a historic bridging ceremony across the Eads Bridge with Girl Scouts from across eastern Missouri • Construction of a new state-of-the-art lodge, climbing wall and zipline at Camp Fiddlecreek in Labadie, MO. • In 2022, in support of the Her Future is Our Future Comprehensive Campaign, Cynthia made an endowed gift that will impact Girl Scouts in eastern Missouri for generations to come. One of the programs made possible through Heath’s generosity will be Claire Bear Camp, a camp for Girl Scouts with autism. The camp is affectionately named after her great-niece, Claire. The camp will be offered for the first time in summer 2023. • • Launching the largest comprehensive campaign in the region for girl youth development
