Intro/Announcements
Meeting was called to order at 7:35. The Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Promise were recited.
Rosa Maldonado is our new council rep (replacing Sue Asselin). Her email is rmaldonado@girlscoutseasternmass.org
This is Amy's last meeting as Service Unit Coordinator. She thanked everyone for supporting her and for making Scouts in North Reading great for the girls.
General Information
The Survey Monkey results showed a couple of important items: Tuesday night tends to be a bad night for everyone (listen up, next year's Coordinator...whoever you are) - and the Monday email and the blog are important sources of information to people.
Open Positions on the Service Team:
Service Unit Coordinator
Registrar - the biggest part of this job is placing girls into troops in the fall. The rest of the year is pretty quiet.
Fall Product Coordinator (Ruth is considering this)
Recording Secretary (Ruth stepped up for this!)
Service Team met and created a suggested calendar outline for next year:
Sept: Daisy Discovery Day (registration event)
Oct: Halloween Party (Kristen Lamont's troop will run)
Oct: Trick or Treating at Wingate (Kate Mahoney will get information)
Nov: Veteran's Day
Nov: Father/Daughter Event (bring back Square Dancing?)
Dec: Caroling at Wingate (see Kate above)
Jan:
Feb: World Thinking Day
March: Roller Skating
March: Food Pantry Month
The Service Team agreed that there needs to be an all-age Encampment next spring. This should take place at Camp Cedar Hill. Cedar Hill provides plenty of cabins, a large indoor facility if it rains, and access to the store for the younger girls.
If you are on Facebook and want to follow along with the Leaders and/or join the discussion - ask Amy Kelly to invite you to the group!
Registration Update
Early Bird Registration is still open until the 28th of June. $25 for girls, $15 for adults. Remember that to register girls for fall programs, they must be registered scouts!
Planning on holding a Daisy Discovery Day in the fall. This was our most successful registration event. Parents bring their daughters and drop them off with older scouts who play games, sing songs, do a craft, etc...all while their moms fill out paperwork and get their questions answered. We got some leaders out of the last one we did! Girl Council will help run this.
