Resource Room's Monthly Tips for the Girl Scout Troop
Here are some monthly tips to let you and your Troop know what is going on in the Girl Scouting World! This will help you and your Troop come up with ideas for Girl Scout meetings, providing you with important Girl Scout dates, ceremonies, and activities to remember during the Girl Scout Year.
For more ideas, visit Program Spotlight and Community Service, read our latest eNewsletters and browse through our GirlFriends publication and Possibilities booklet. If you are looking for programs and events within your own community, log in to your Association web page for information.
If you have any questions, contact Diane Seekamp, Program Resources Coordinator at 516-741-2550, ext. 244, or Seekampd@gsnc.org.
