EXCITING NEWS! I know my Service Website has been largely neglected for the past few *years* but I spent the weekend updating it, including the newer badges, and the new leadership awards! (The troop resources tab is still being worked on, but all troop level ones are good to go!) The uniform catalog price lists are also now current. I updated the What a Cadette can earn slideshow and added one for Seniors and Ambassadors! (Working on a Junior version now) I’m looking at dates in the fall to host Higher Award + Leadership Award trainings. I overviewed and educated myself on these updates- hopefully joining a zoom with our older girl specialist soon so I can get my last few questions answered, and I’ll be 100% ready to rock and help you all out! Currently gearing up for Murfreesboro Girl Scout Day Camp next week, and working on our fall camporee plans, which I'll admit the Percy Jackson world was not my wheelhouse in the beginning, but I've immersed myself and am now having a blast putting it all together! (Not mentioned in the guide is how the girls will get to visit the oracle and receive their prophecies!)
I'm also putting together the plans for the Service Unit for next year:
As always, I'm here if you need me. Any questions, concerns, a shoulder to lean on, a wealth of resources to help you help your girls. If I don't know something, I sure can find out! If you want to meet up for a coffee chat, I'm always down. See you all randomly over the summer, or at our kick off August Service Unit meeting! Welcome to our Service Unit's new Website! We hope you find it easy to use and helpful!
