THE TROUPE WANTS YOU!
 Join
the coolest troupe in town! The Council Puppetry Troupe wants
all girls in fifth grade and above to consider becoming a
Council puppeteer. This year the troupe has added a whole
new set of puppets, the Neighborhood Crew, to the already

Experience life as a sailor on the
Tall Ship Elissa
Standing on the deck of Elissa, you have a clear
view back to the days when salt spray and tall ships were
second nature to “square-riggers.” In a special
overnight adventure, those days come to life again for Girl
Scouts who want to experience “a sailor’s life.”
After a tour of the Elissa and a wide screen presentation
of “Elissa, the Longest Voyage,” the overnight
crew learns by doing. They help set one of Elissa’s
huge staysails, and they work with the ship’s volunteer
crew to master seagoing knots and rope craft. Overnight,
participants follow one of the oldest traditions of the sea–keeping
watch over the Elissa and the Galveston harbor.
