MAKE A DIFFERENCE & HAVE FUN

WITH YOUR DAUGHTER & HER FRIENDS!

WHAT DOES A LEADER DO?

1. REGISTRATION:
• Receive forms and deposit money with the assistance of the school organizer.
2. TRAINING: 
• meet with the school organizer for start-up ideas/samples/etc.
• receive free training from Girl Scouts to be a leader
• Someone will need to be certified in CPR & 1^st aid in your troop. 
3. LEAD THE TROOP: 
• This can be done any way you desire.  You can have co-leaders and various “jobs” for parents (treasurer, snacks, activities, etc.).  Supplies, dues, bank account, troop communication and troop forms are handled by you and the parent volunteers.
• You help decide what activities and patches the troop receives. 
• The Girl Scout books provide “recipes” to follow for the various badges.  There are various Service Unit and Council events that are planned for you and you just show up to have fun.  It’s easy.    
4. LEADER MEETINGS:  Center Grove Service Unit (CGSU) Meetings
• held 1x/month
• learn about events, share info, have fun, ask questions, meet new people for “adult” time, etc.  Keeps you up to date. 
• Share the responsibility with your parents. 
5. RESOURCES/INFORMATION:  Lots of ideas/information is easily found through your school organizer, the CG website, the Council website, Pathways (activity options), leader meetings/emails, and other leaders. 

Please contact me if you are interested in being a leader for a troop.  You won’t regret one minute of it!
