The Girl Scouts are celebrating their one hundred year anniversary, a milestone of discovery, friendship and leadership with two extraordinary events. USTA Northern California is joining the celebrations and you can too!
We are bringing our 10 and Under Tennis courts, equipment and games, introducing thousands of Girl Scouts to the fun sport of tennis at the two events below. We'll need lots of help to make sure that it's a great experience for the scouts.
Girl Scouts want to have fun, right? We promise you will too! And as an added incentive, anyone scheduled to volunteer at either of these events will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win two day session tickets to the 2012 Bank of the West Tennis Classic at Stanford University and a pro sports bag filled with tennis goodies for two.
