We will
be having our Troop meetings from 4pm-6pm at Mansface Church
on Tuesdays. We will basically hold troop meetings every other Tuesday of each
month. Those dates will be updated regularly on our Troop blog so please be
aware all information we can give will be easily accessible to girls/parents,
please check this blog regularly. You can sign up for email notifications for
when the Troop blog is updated. We will do our best to keep all Green River
Service Unit events updated here also.
We will continue
to provide updated/short notice information via text messaging. Please make
sure we have current contact information with a primary contact number. On the flip side, please don’t hesitate to
contact any of us with questions or concerns.
Some Troop Expectations: As we welcome
these girls into Juniors there are some expectations that they need to be aware
of. The girls need to start being more responsible/involved with each passing
year in Girls Scouts. Keeping that in mind, we need to be having the girls in uniform
for our meetings. We are not going to be strict, but a reward system will be
established to reinforce this. Basic Uniform: Junior Sash or Vest with a white
shirt under paired with a tan/khaki pant or skirt. If we are doing a community event,
uniform is required. We want to represent Girl Scouts respectfully.
We ask girls to come
and be ready to be involved. We try to make every event fun… but there are
things we do need to accomplish at each meeting. Girls need to be respectful and prepared to
start our meetings. We start each
meeting with our promise/law and anything else the girls establish. We will end
each meeting with a friendship circle. The
girls are expected to learn, know and hopefully life the Girl Scout Promise and
Law.
Dues: We are asking for 5 dollars a month in dues for our
9 months of troop meetings. If you want
to pay in one lump sum for the year your grand total is $45.00. Cookies make our activities possible, but they
do not cover everything for our supplies.
Book/Uniform:
The start up kits for Juniors is running $50.00 per girl. That is
for a sash, council patch, flag, troop number, book, Journey book, bag,
insignia tab/pins. We are going to be
doing the Get Moving Journey this year. We
are happy to order these kits all at once or you can go to GSMW.ORG and shop
yourself. You will need to get this as
soon as possible if we do not order it for you.
Investiture
Date: Tuesday October 7th from 6-7pm at
the Green River High School. This is our rededication
ceremony that we all do as a Service Unit.
Next Troop Meeting Dates: October
14th and October 28th.
