Active and Passive Troop Membership
Events and Meetings: Check out our calendar. There are 6 meeting and 5 events. More events will be available and not every girl will be able to make every event or meeting. The girls have a lot going on! We have tried to schedule events at varying times - after school, in the evenings, on Saturdays and on Sundays. Girls only need to attend the events they are interested in.
Try-Its and Patch Programs: As a troop we will complete 3 try-its. Girls are encouraged to work on try-its at home with their families, and attend try-it days as well. Some girls will be more interested and ambitious then others. That’s okay! If they are interested they can earn a lot of try-its, if they are not interested, that’s fine too. All that is to say, some girls will have more try-its and patches then other girls.
Meeting Snacks:
Meeting snacks should be healthy and easy for cleaning up. Apples, carrots, cheese, crackers, animal crackers, frozen yogurt tubes. Please sign up for snacks for either a meeting or an event you are planning on attending.
Forms
Health: We need a new health form for each girl this year. http://www.gscnc.org/files/pdf/leader/a130.pdf.

Troop will provide: Daisy petal (as earned, World Trefoil pin*, troop earned badges, journey patches, program activity patches, service hour patches, and membership stars.
