Girls will work on badges and participate in team building activities. We will be focusing on activities designed to build leadership and communication skills among the girls. Cadettes can register for camp between now and March 3. Girls will begin planning for the camping trip in February.

Dues pay for badges and pins, help supplement some activities/trips, and also help support the troop web site, and other troop expenses. (Parents pay for fun patches.) For financial assistance contact your Girl Scout’s troop leader.
  • Financial assistance is also available for uniform items, Girl Guides and journey books. Contact your Girl Scout’s troop leader.

If your Girl Scout didn’t get a personal supplies checklist at the troop meeting last Friday, download it now so she can “Be Prepared”. Be mindful that we will be staying two nights. Encourage girls to pack their own bag so they know what is in it. Girls should also be able to carry what they pack.
