Back to Troop 2013-2014: Friday, September 27, 6pm at PGMA

backToTroop2013-14
Everyone has been asking, and now you know that our first meeting of the 2013-2014 scouting year will be September 27, 6pm at PGMA.

MEETING TIME
Meetings are held every other Friday from 6 – 7:30pm at PGMA. Please make arrangements for drop off and pick ups in advance. Please do NOT pick up the girls early. Latecomers will not be let in after 6:20pm.  Parents who consistently pick up their girl(s) late will be contacted by Troop Managers for the inconvenience. While your daughter will not get the most benefit, it is okay to miss a meeting now and then.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
PGMA Girl Scouts follow PG County Schools’ inclement weather schedule. If school is out that day, there will be no meeting. Always double check the website for power outages and other happenings.

SNACKS
Due to meetings occurring during the regular dinner time all parents are encouraged to provide snacks for the meeting. Please see our designated Snack Mom, Sis Rolanda, to get on the schedule. We will need 3 parents per meeting to provide a healthy snack and/or juice/water for 30 girls. NO soda, no junk food (including store bought cookies, chips, gum, or candy), NO pork products, and NO nuts as we have girls with nut allergies. Please read ingredient labels carefully for pork products and nuts.

UNIFORMS
We encourage all girls to wear their uniforms at every meeting. Uniforms will most often be required for weekend trips at the discretion of the Troop Leader.
