What can parents do to help a troop?
Parents can assist the troop leader(s) in many different ways. They can volunteer to be the troop cookie manager, first aider, or camper. Often, additional drivers are needed for field trips. Many troop leaders and/or their assistants have other children who need to be cared for during troop meetings or field trips. Parents can share their knowledge or expertise on a particular subject to help the girls complete a Try-it or badge. One of the greatest things a parent can do to help a troop leader is ensuring their daughter is prepared for troop meetings (has uniform, dues, any applicable paperwork that needs to be returned, etc.). Another way parents can help is to stay informed of Girl Scout events by visiting this website periodically and passing the information along to other troop members who do not have access to the Internet.
