Remember that alcohol is strictly prohibited at all Girl Scout activities and on council property.  Smoking is only allowed at the fire circle when no girls are in the area. 

Bring your camporee cleaning checklist with you.  Please return checklist and feedback form with your year-end paperwork.

 

Court of Awards

June 12th at the MPR at 7 PM.  Please send me 5 photos of your troop for the closing presentation.

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. (if your bringing anything, bring tape or some way to hang it)

 

Year-End Paperwork

The following forms are due to me by June 15th

Group/Troop Finance Report – Troop Status Report – Service Project Report Form – Troop/Group Annual Report – Annual Volunteer Performance Review (1 per registered adult) - Volunteer Performance Review for Service Team Members.

 

Summer Event

Campfire on August 24th at Wason Pond.  Cub Scouts will also participate.  This will be a recruiting event and also fun for current members.  Leaders bring s’more fixings for your troop and a little extra to share. (cub scouts will also bring their own)

 

Chester Fair

The Chester Fair is September 8th – Mark your calendars for the Parade and Midway –

Leaders voted to have each troop to have their own adults who will supervise their time slot and handle money boxes instead of just coordinators who stay all day.  We will need 1 adult at entrance, 1 adult at face painting/tattoos, 1 adult at jail, 1 adult at gift table and 1 adult at craft area. 

We decided to get 2 sites so we have more room.  We will move face painting outside flag area and add a craft.  Corinna suggested decorating backpacks.

We would like to borrow as many “Easy-Up” canopies as possible to keep the girls out of the direct sun.

Time for Midway will be noon to 5:00 PM.  We will need all Juniors and up to help.  Debbie B. volunteered to do set-up.

We have 5 Junior troops, 2 Cadette troops and 1 Senior troop.  We need about 15 people per time slot, so troops can double up.

 

Recruiting Night

Tentatively set for Friday, September 14th with the Cub Scouts.  A leader from each troop who has openings should plan on attending.  Please let Nancy know  how many openings you’ll have for the fall.

 

Fall Girl’s Event

Date chosen was October 21st. 

Theme ideas:

Luau (make leis, hula skirts, decorate flip-flops, etc.)

Fiesta! (make sombreros, colorful necklaces, maraca or tambourine)

International Fun (crafts from around the world)

Fall fun (decorate pumpkins, make fall leaves crafts, etc.)

We will decide on the theme at the August meeting.
