Girl Scout troops are forming now in Sunapee and the Kearsarge district towns, says Liz Tentarelli of Newbury, the local service unit manager. Girls in grades kindergarten through grade 5 who want to have fun and develop skills in an all-girl setting are encouraged to sign up for troop placement. Home-schooled girls of similar ages are welcome too. Thirteen troops currently exist in the area towns. Many of them have openings for new members.
Girl Scouts of Swift Water Council is committed to offering Girl Scouting to every girl. Financial aid is available from the Council for families needing help with the registration fee and uniforms.
Trained volunteers lead the troops. More adult volunteers are needed to lead and assist new troops so that all girls can be placed. Sharing Girl Scouting with your daughter is a rewarding experience, say the many parents who have become leaders.
Short-term volunteers are also needed, such as helping girls with particular badges or doing paperwork for the cookie sale. Women who remember the joys of their own Girl Scout days particularly enjoy sharing their skills with girls in these limited assignments. For more information about girl placement and adult volunteer opportunities, phone Tentarelli at 603-763-9296.
