There are many ways you can
make your daughter's Girl Scout experience a success!
The Greatest Need
is for Leaders and Advisors!!
Being a Girl Scout Leader is a
wonderful way to make a difference in the lives of young girls while
providing you and your daughter an exciting and rewarding experience!
When you become a Leader, you are not alone! We have a
wonderful support system for Leaders! You will have access to
trainings, Leader to Leader support and Neighborhood and Council support.
We also have a huge need for shorter term volunteers, people
willing to share a skill/hobby/passion with a group of girls.

We Need All Adults!
We need adults from all walks of
life, not just parents! Your Troop, your Neighborhood and your Council are
always looking for adult volunteers who have gifts or talents they would be
willing to share with the girls. A volunteer doesn’t need to be a parent to
get involved!
Do you have friends, aunts, uncles,
co-workers, neighbors, college students or others who would consider
contributing their time and talents to Girl Scouts? Please let them know
how much they would be appreciated. Encourage them to contact your Troop
Leader,
Service Team or
Council office!

A
Little Girl's Eyes
Author Unknown
"I'd like to be a Brownie"
(Her eyes were deepest blue)
"I'd like to learn and play and sing,
Like Jane and Ashley do."
"I know how to use scissors;
I can cut cloth if I try.
I'm eight years old, a big girl now,
And hardly ever cry."
I gave her the application
And parent participation sheet.
(Her eyes were filled with sunshine
as she left on dancing feet.)
Next day my friend was back again.
No longer wearing the smile she'd had.
"I guess I'll skip the Brownies"
(Her eyes were dark and sad).
"My mom is awfully busy,
She has lots of friends , you see,
She'd never have time for a troop,
She hardly has time for me."
"And dad is always working,
He's hardly ever there.
To give them any more to do
Just wouldn't be fair."
She handed back the papers
With the dignity of eight years
And smiling bravely left me,
(Her eyes were filled with tears.)
Do you see your own girl's eyes
As other people may?
How she looks when you're "too busy"
Or, "just haven't the time today"?
A girl is such a special gift,
Why won't you realize,
It only takes a little time,
To put sunshine in her eyes.
You say "I'll start tomorrow"
But tomorrow is far away.
She's little for such a short time
So won't you start today? |
