Contributing or soliciting baskets, auction items and gift certificates are terrific ways for troops/groups/service units to support Urban Campout. Scheduled for September 11 this year, our council's annual fundraiser helps keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for all.

Basket - Fill a basket with new items involving a theme (perhaps beach, spa, cooking, Girl Scouts, golf, movies or crafts?) or a fun assortment of gift cards from stores, restaurants, theaters, etc. In the spirit of the 2009 theme, Celebrate America! You may wish to create a basket based on your favorite US state or region! (If you prefer, collect the items and the committee will assemble them.)

Auction items - You may prefer to contribute unrelated items or gift cards for the Urban Campout committee to combine into auction packages. Please supply donations from individuals and businesses or include contact information on the form below for follow-up by the event committee.

All donors will be listed in the program distributed to Urban Campout's 580 guests.

Start planning now, and submit the form below as soon as possible. Please bring the basket or items to the Balboa office by Monday, July 6.

For details, contact CJ McAuliffe at (619) 610-0755 or cmcauliffe@girlscoutssdi.org.

The Urban Campout: Celebrate America! program will feature a section of 'salutes' in a vintage black-and-white layout reminiscent of a 1950s-era family photo album. Turn the program into a family keepsake by spotlighting a favorite Girl Scout: your daughter, grandmother, troop, special volunteer . . . or even yourself! A quarter-page is just $200.
