2024-2025 Inspire Discovery

Girl Scouts, their troop leaders, families and friends can help individuals and families in need by participating in Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri's largest community service program, April Showers. April Showers

For 27 years, Girl Scouts, their families and neighbors have collected more than 27 million personal care items. We are excited to be offering the community multiple ways to participate in April Showers. We will again be utilizing online registries in addition to the traditional in-person aspects of the program. Girl Scouts will place self-adhesive notes door-to-door throughout eastern Missouri the weekend of April 4-6, 2025. The note will encourage households to purchase items and reuse a bag or box of their own for pickup on April 12 or to donate through our online registries. On April 5, Girl Scouts will be stationed outside of local stores to encourage customers to purchase additional personal care items for donation. All items donated through the online registries will be delivered to our camps. Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to assist with counting and sorting items donated through the registries. More information will be available in the Troop Participation Guide. All registered Girl Scouts are expected to participate in April Showers through door-to-door distribution, donation collection or Showering the Community. District and Neighborhood Events scheduled for either weekend of April Showers should plan to incorporate April Showers as part of their event plans. Troops camping are expected to participate on the alternate weekend.
