At the Low Down, we post blogs for you: Southern Arizona's Troop Leaders, Volunteers, Parents, and Caregivers. 
Our goal is to provide you with support, resources, inspiration, and guides on Girl Scouting in our council. 
​This blog aims to create a community for our passionate volunteers—one in which you can share your experiences,
learn helpful tips from GSSoAZ topic experts, and learn from each other during your time with us.
