Mid Peninsula Service Unit 389 serves Girl Scout Troops in San Mateo and Foster City, California. The Service Unit acts as a liaison to to the Girl Scouts of Northern California Council. We also organize monthly events providing opportunities for girls to participate in the outdoors, community service, product sales, and other Girl Scout fun and traditions.
Honor Troop is a Girl Scout tradition practiced by Councils across the country to recognize troops that have gone above and beyond through the Girl Scout Year. It’s a prestigious award that the youth achieve together, and it ensures that troops are getting a well-rounded Girl Scout experience.
