GSUSA Leader 101 – First Meeting Prep

The first meeting will not actually be a troop meeting. It needs to be a “Guardian Meeting”. Each troop member must have a legal guardian attend that is able to sign permission slips, make decisions, and fill out other council required paperwork. Here is what you will need to have ready.

  1. Paperwork Parents Fill Out
  2. Receipt Booklet
    1. Anytime you get money from families, a receipt should be written so you have a written record of what they paid.
    2. Get a booklet that has a carbon copy you can give to families. They should keep it on hand just in case you lose your record and ask them to pay a 2nd time. They have written proof they already paid you.
    3. It does not need to be a complicated receipt. Simply a place to write the date, the amount, and what the payment was for will work.
  3. Girl Scout Voting Method
  4. Girl Scout Activity
    1. Usually a small craft they can do without adult help or a coloring page works best.
    2. GSUSA has new Activity booklets that might work for your troop.
