Ask each parent/ caregiver to finish the sentence, “As a Girl Scout, I am looking forward to...” or “What I hope to do at Girl Scouts. ” Robot Builder Party Activity • Robots are very helpful in understanding information and helping humans do things, especially things we cannot do ourselves. We are going to learn about robots and build our own using things around the house. • The girls can work on this activity while parents/caregivers discuss Girl Scouts. Parent/Caregiver Discussion • Our Program: Talk about the available skill-building programs emphasizing STEM, Money Management, Health and the Outdoors. Also, mention the importance of community service projects and the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. • Troop Description: Troops are created with five or more girls and two unrelated adults (one female) who have registered and have had a current background check. Troops can meet as often as they would like and at a location that works best. Troops work on badges, patches and petals (for our Daisy Girl Scouts). Examples include Celebrating Community, Hiker, Bugs and Count It Up. • Parental/Caregiver Role: Each troop needs a group of adults to help lead until the girls are old enough to lead themselves. This starts with a Troop Leader and an Assistant Troop Leader. Additional opportunities include Troop Cookie Manager, help with scheduling field trips and meetings, helping with activities and providing snacks. • Troop Leaders and Assistant Troop Leaders will participate in the New Leader training within the first 30 days. Parent/Caregiver meeting scheduled to discuss troop meetings, dues, field trips, adult involvement, etc. • Open troop bank account. • Hold first Girl Scout troop meeting. Presentation Conclusion • Ask participating girls to present their completed activity. • Complete registration together online. Additional registration options include over the phone with the Answer Center or mail in the completed paper form.
