Become a Leader

Why:

• Leading a troop is a wonderful opportunity to share with your daughter and her friends.

Who:

• Any adult can lead a troop.
• A man can be a leader if he has a non-related female as a co-leader.
• We recommend enlisting the help of all parents in the troop.

What:

• An application and background check are required.
• Free, local training classes are provided by the Girl Scout council.
• Three classes are required during the first four months.
• The first class is a pre-requisite for scheduling the first meeting.
• All leaders have activity/leader guides available for use.

Where:

• We recommended that troops meet in public facilities (ex:. schools, churches, rec centers).

When:

• Troops can form at any time, generally they begin in the fall.
• Troops can meet as regularly as permitted by the leader's and girls' schedules.
• Troops can meet on the day and at the time that is most convenient for leader and troop.
