What's New

Next Leader Meeting will be Monday May 5, 7pm, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.

The Leader Recognition Ceremony will be on Monday June 2, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 7pm.  All Leaders, Co-Leaders, and Cookie Chairs are invited to attend.  We will also recognize all girls that have earned their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award this past year.  These girls may bring a parent with them to this ceremony and reception.  Please let Lucy know you are coming by May 27.

 

NEWS FROM GSNEO AND GSUSA

Beginning in October 2008, GSUSA will be transitioning to new age levels and new program materials.  You may continue to use the current program materials until September 2010.  My recommendation is to not switch to the new program materials until your troop bridges to the next age level.

New Age Levels

  • K - 1 - Daisies
  • 2 - 3 - Brownies
  • 4 - 5 - Juniors
  • 6 - 8 - Cadettes
  • 9 - 10 Seniors
  • 11 - 12 Ambassadors

New Program Material Terms

Leadership Experience - What girls DO in Girl Scouting, tied to "Discover, Connect and Take Action" national leadership outcomes.

Girl Scout Pathways - The way girls and adults join Girl Scouting.  Troop participation is one way.

Leadership Journeys - How the scouting experiences achieve leadership outcomes - a.k.a. badges and awards.  All the currents badges will be reformatted to follow this new "Discover, Connect and Take Action" national leadership outcomes.  Samples and information will be available soon.

Read these articles that describe the new leadership model and earned award model.

NEW VOLUNTEER APPLICATIONS

All current and new leaders (01, 02, and troop cookie chair) will need to fill out a New Volunteer Application and send it directly to Council.  You will also need a background check and to supply your SSN, DOB, or Driver's License.  All information will be held confidentially in the Council Human Resources Department.  These forms will be available soon.
