[Leaders] Rockford Service Unit Update

I just wanted to send everyone an update on activities for the service unit:

 

Next meeting is APRIL 9-right after spring break.

 

GS celebration will occur at the April meeting.  Set up between 6 and 645pm.  I will keep the meeting short, but what a great opportunity for scouts to get a close up view.  If you have items which can be used for out Day Camp let Bev and Jessie D know. Maybe we can even have a visit by Ms. Low herself-what are your thoughts Sandy :)

 

May Camp- registration forms can be given to kristi Neil via her drop box.  There is a little glitch in that I have delivered the intent-to-event form to council twice and I learned that there is a different person who resides at the Traverse City Office I need to connect with.

 

Camp Training: I was asked if we could have camp training for Rockford leaders, in order to comply with safety etc.  the answer is no. There are too many training's already set via other locations. so for those leaders who have not had the training, maybe a registered volunteer parent could attend a training. That would keep things kosher OR you can register your troop members with another troop leader who is camp trained.  Just a thought.

 

Cookie Money: remember cookie money will be automatically withdrawn April 4. don't go to the negative balance. Also, if you have leaders who pick up additional boxes at council, those funds will be removed later in the month...sorry I can't remember the day.

 

Bridging: Amy Rademaker is planning on organizing this event for another year! She is planning on the week of May 24. Please plan on attending if you have a troop/girl who is bridging to another level OR have earned an award.  This is your chance to show the girls the pride there is in scouting.

 

Memorial Day Parade:Begin planning for attendance in the Memorial day parade. It would be sad to not have any girl scout.  Remember this does not have to be a troop thing. Just let me know who will be attending so that we can have adult volunteers.

 

I have contacted the city for more information on the start of summer parade.
