ANNOUNCEMENTS
General
Parents Please remind your daughter of the Girl Scout Code of Conduct they signed in the beginning of the year. It is important that the girls be on their best behavior when we are together. With such a large group size, we can not have any excess mischief. It is unfair to the girls, and unsafe for the girls. As a reminder, if your daughter refuses to follow the Code of Conduct, she will be asked to leave the meeting/event.
Troop Needs
**ASSISTANT LEADER** We need an Assistant Leader….someone to dedicate themselves to that position! You would need to be able to attend 90%-100% of Troop meetings and activities.
Thanks to all of those who have dedicated your time to our troop so far this year.
