Need Ideas for Your Troop?
Can We Talk? - Main avenues of communication within our Service Unit:
- This Web Site - It's always available and it's updated OFTEN. Make sure to check frequently for up-to-date announcements, & to find flyers & registration for MANY troop activities/events throughout the year.
- Leader's Meetings - Held the first Thursday of each month, Sept. through May, at Augustana Health Care Center, off 147th across from Paideia (new location). Usually they start at 6:30pm and last one hour. These meetings are a great way to meet and learn from other leaders in our area, ask questions, get answers first-hand.
Be sure to check out the Info for Leaders and Calendar links on our site, too, for more Girl Scout info.
