Sample Junior Girl Scout Meeting Plan

Troop Leader Allison shared her Junior Girl Scout troop meeting plan for the year.  She sends this out to all parents so they know what to expect for their daughter and the troop in the coming year.  Their goals for this year include: Agent of Change & Bronze Award.  Their schedule also includes additional service projects (blanket project, cooking for Columbus House).  

9/20   Discovering My Power (Agent of Change Journey)
10/4   Choosing a Bronze Award Project
10/18  Great Leaders & Great Teams (Agent of Change Journey)
11/1   Taking Action for the Bronze Award
11/15  Blanket Project for DCYF
12/13  Gift Wrapping and Cookie Swap
1/10   Invigorate Project
2/9    Cooking for Columbus House
2/21  Prepare for Thinking Day
3/2   Thinking Day
3/7   Digital Photography Badge
4/4   Bronze Award Presentation Practice
5/2   Prepare for Bridging Ceremony
6/6   Rehearse for Bridging Ceremony
6/7   Bridging to Cadettes

** In order to help their Girl Scouts choose a community need for their Bronze Award project requirements, the troop will be inviting two community non-profit representatives to their 10/4 meeting to make presentations.  The girls will decide their project based on those presentations.  This is a great way to keep the decisions and the projects "girl-led"!

Service Unit Meetings

Service Unit Meetings are once/month for the benefit of all leaders in the Service Unit.  Each troop is asked to send at least one volunteer to the meetings in order to collect information about upcoming events in the Service Unit and Council, as well as share ideas about your own troop's activities and projects.  Please help us by making attendance at these monthly meetings a priority. We start on-time at 7:15 and end at 8:30 or sooner.  Contact Vicky B., Service Unit Manager, in advance, if you would like to share some "best practices" about your troop with the group.

Why bother? Because...

• it's only an hour (+/- 15 min)
• it's only once a month & a chance to be together with other leaders
• we can learn from each other
• we can hear about new events organized by Council, which means the troop doesn't have to do the grunt work
• we can help new leaders learn the ropes
• we can eat samples (QSP & cookie training)
• we can plan our calendar for the year by finding out about events in advance
