Court of Awards

Start having your girls think about their year-end performance.  The date is June 12^th at the MPR at 7 PM.  Please send me a list of all your girls for the program.  Please put a star (*) next to the name of any girl who is bridging to the next level. 

 

If bridging girls want to make decorations for the ceremony as part of their bridging badge, they are welcome to.  Have them make something we can easily hang from the walls or the front of the stage.

 

Nominations for Outstanding Leader are due to me by May 15^th at the latest.  3 nominations with letters of endorsement are required to submit the packet to council.

 

Early Re-registration

Registration forms are here.  If you didn’t get yours tonight, see Corinna for your packet.  If a girl is bridging, she should register with her new troop.  If you don’t know where they will be next year, the forms should go to Corinna to hold until fall. 

 

Please let me know what troops have space available for next year. 

Forms and payment are due to Corinna by May 25^th.

The following forms are due to me by June 15^th
