We are thrilled that you have decided to serve as part of the nation’s best leadership development organization just for girls. As a long-time volunteer in my daughter’s Girl Scout troop, I know first-hand the impact that your volunteer time will have on the lives of the girls in your troop.

Serving as a troop leader is a commitment to helping girls become their best selves by fostering a rich Girl Scout experience. You are the gatekeeper to connecting them with opportunities, encouraging them to take smart risks and challenging them to think creatively about the difference they can make in their communities.

Girl Scouts is designed to be girl-led. With your guidance, we want girls to take the lead in determining what they want to do as a troop – from what badges and journeys they want to earn, to what they eat on their first camp-out together, to figuring out what to do with their hard-earned cookie money. When girls have the chance to make decisions, you’re teaching them collaboration, team work and confidence to advocate for their ideas. As a leader, this is one of the most important aspects of Girl Scouts that you can cultivate.

Through Girl Scouts, girls learn to empower themselves for life. We know from national research that girls who are Girl Scouts are more likely to advocate for themselves and others, aspire to leadership roles, are more confident, have a stronger sense of self and are more likely to seek challenges and take smart risks in life. Just imagine the difference in our world when our girls grow up to be confident and courageous women!

Your investment as a troop leader makes it possible.

Thank you for believing in the power of G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)TM and for inspiring your girls to turn "Can I?" into "I will".

I hope your year is full of fun!

Jennifer K. Bartkowski CEO, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas

5 THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE In Girl Scouts, girls follow a path to discover who they are and what they care about, connect by collaborating with other people and take action to do something to make the world a better place. This is called the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE). Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas programs center around four pillars: STEM, Outdoors, Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship. Here are the tools to deliver the GSLE:

Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting is a binder full of information about being a Girl Scout and how to earn certain badges. Girls who want to earn more badges can add a Skill Building Badge Set tied to the theme of the Journey they have chosen.

Badges are earned when a girl masters a skill or shows increased knowledge in a particular subject. Badges are earned at every grade level and should be placed on the front of the sash or vest.

Patches symbolize participation as a troop or individual in a Girl Scout program or activity. Patches are worn on the back of the sash or vest.

Journeys include adult and girl books which guide girls through fun and challenging experiences grouped around a theme, and are spread over a series of sessions. Each Journey has all the important components of the GSLE sewn right in. GOVERNING STRUCTURE

11 NOW YOU'RE READY TO MEET Organizing your meeting is easy with the new Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) – your one-stop resource to planning your entire year as a troop leader (gsnetx.org/vtk). This simple guide below will give you the framework for how a typical meeting runs. The VTK will help you fill in the holes with specific activities and time-lines. Most important – your meetings should be fun!

THE SIX PARTS OF A TROOP MEETING

1 Start Up – Plan activities for girls as they arrive at the meeting so they have something to do until the meeting begins. It could be as simple as coloring pages, journaling or talking with each other (5 minutes).

2 Opening – Girls decide and lead their meeting opening – most begin with the Girl Scout Promise and Law, a simple flag ceremony, song, game, story or other activity. (5-10 minutes).

3 Business – This is the time to let girls plan their upcoming meetings or decide what council events they want to attend as a troop, collect dues and make announcements (5-10 minutes).

4 Activities – Support your troop as they complete their per-selected activities to work towards badges and journeys. This portion of the meeting should be heavily girl-led with the troop leader aiding on the side. (30-45 minutes).

5 Clean Up – Girl Scouts should always leave a place cleaner than they found it! (5 minutes).

6 Closing – Just like the opening, each troop can decide how to close – with a song, a game, or a story (5-10 minutes). As caregivers arrive, provide any important updates or reminders about upcoming meetings and activities.

COOKIE PROGRAM GOAL SETTING how to When Girl Scouts participate in the Cookie Program, their troops earn develop a proceeds from each package sold. Troops decide how their cookie funds business are spent, from funding a troop camping trip to funding their Bronze Award. plan The 2017 average profit per troop was nearly $1200. The Cookie Program also gives Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn badges. Participation in the Cookie Program is optional, but highly encouraged.

Troop leaders receive information about getting started in the Cookie Program in late fall. In preparation for the program, which runs January – February, we encourage you to ask for parent help early! Helping can be as DECISION MAKING simple as picking up cookies for the troop, managing the online software think system (eBudde), or hosting a cookie rally. Ask another volunteer to take the critically lead for your troop by being the Troop Cookie Manager (TCM). The TCM is an and solve extremely valuable member of your troop leadership team, taking ownership problems of this important program while you continue normal troop operations.

MONEY MANAGEMENT directly handle customer money

BUSINESS ETHICS develop positive values like honesty and integrity

PEOPLE SKILLS engage with members of the community and develop 14 confidence GREAT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT TROOP FINANCES

Bank Account All troops should establish a bank account with two unrelated adult signers for collection of optional troop dues, payment of troop supplies and activities and the cookie program. (gsnetx.org/forms "Opening or changing a Girl Scouts Bank Account and ACH Registration")

Troop Dues Many troops decide to collect troop dues as a way to help provide start-up funding for troop activities and supplies. These could range from $3-$5 per meeting, to $50-$70 for the entire school year paid all at one time. It’s completely up to each troop to decide what works best for them.

Money-earning Activities The Cookie Program is the primary money-earning activity for a troop. If a new troop plans to participate in the Cookie Program, they may also opt to participate in a limited number of additional fundraising activities. (gsnetx.org/volunteerpolicies).

Financial Reporting and Receipts To stay organized, troop leadership should use receipts to help track any incoming funds, outgoing expenses, and cookie activities. Every Girl Scout troop should report out to troop parents about finances at least three times per year.

Tax Exemption As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, volunteers can utilize our tax exempt form when purchasing supplies and materials (except at the GSNETX Shop). The tax exempt form is found online at gsnetx.org/forms.

Financial Assistance Financial difficulties shouldn’t stand in the way of a Girl Scout’s participation. Any member needing financial assistance for membership can request it. Other financial assistance is available for books, badges, uniforms, and programs, and can be requested online at gsnetx.org/forms (select financial assistance form).
