There are many exciting leadership and scholarship opportunities out
there for you as a CHICA. Many of our Encuentro speakers and Girl Scout
friends have provided us with information about exciting opportunities
for you. Please read the information carefully and contact the names
listed on the site for more information. This information does not come
from the Girl Scouts and we do not accept applications for any of these
opportunities.
