2022 Recruitment Playbook

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2022 Troop Organizer Playbook!

GIRL SCOUT PROMISE On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law GIRL SCOUT LAW I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

I am excited to kick off this school year and work with each of you to provide Girl Scout opportunities to more girls throughout eastern Missouri. The pandemic has left us all with the need for social connections, new experiences and adventures; and, the children are feeling this as well. As an adult volunteer, you are making a significant impact on girls across our region. For many girls in our community, you positively affect their well-being by providing opportunities for physical activity, outdoor experiences, and spending quality time with friends. While we need to continue to be very mindful of health and safety, each of you plays a more critical role than ever. And, I sincerely thank you for your service to the girls. Whether you are brand new to the position or have years of experience, Troop Organizer Training will ensure you have all the resources necessary for a successful fall recruitment season. This training is a crucial step in preparing you to form new troops and build relationships with schools, and we appreciate you taking the time to participate. In addition to the physical resources provided by the Girl Scout Council, our Community Engagement Managers are also there to support Troop Organizers. I encourage our Troop Organizers and Community Engagement Managers to work closely together, so every girl who wants to be a Girl Scout has the opportunity to be one. Together, we are helping our eastern Missouri Girl Scouts build courage, confidence and character, which means a brighter future for us all!

Yours in Girl Scouting,

Lisa Beasley Director, Membership Development and Support lbeasley@girlscoutsem.org
