Forming a Troop

Where Do I "Get" the Girls?

Elementary Schools

Each elementary school has a School Organizer.  The School Organizers are responsible for forming troops and recruiting volunteers at their school.  You will receive a list of girls to contact from the School Organizer.  All interested girls must go through the organizer for placement.  It is very possible that there is a waitlist of girls waiting to join a Troop.  For that reason, if you are approached by someone wanting to join your Troop, please refer them to the School Organizer.  Girls on the wait list get first priority for placement.

Middle & High Schools

Middle and High Schools do not have School Organizers.  Our Neighborhood Organizer handles the placement of interested girls.
