WELLNESS RESOURCES FOR ADULTS 

We understand that this is an uncertain and stressful time for those in our Girl Scout Community: for the leaders, parents and children. In order to help those that might be feeling overwhelmed, we have put together some helpful resources such as apps, articles and outreach centers that may be helpful during the Covid-19 situation. We hope that these resources will be useful to you and your family.

 

For those who are looking for activities for their girls, please take a look at Resources to Keep your Girls Entertained During Covid-19 to see some suggestions made by our Girl Scout Community.

 

If you have any other suggestions or feedback, please reach out to the webeditor@singaporeusagirlscouts.org.
