Super Troop Program Guidelines Super Troop Program August 1, 2019 - July 31, 2020 What is Super Troop? The Super Troop Program recogizes troops and groups who have incorporated all facets of the Girl Scout Movement into their troop or group activities. The program emphasis is on girl and adult membership, girl-led experiences, service in the community, STEM and the outdoors, diversity and inclusion, and unleashing the power of G.I.R.L. How do you become a Super Troop? Troops and groups earn the Super Troop distinction by completing activities listed in the program, and accumulating points. Each troop activity counts toward only one requirement. Troops must accumulate 400 points to qualify. Each application for Super Troop must be verified and approved by the Troop Support Staff at Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona. Details and Deadlines All activities must be completed between August 1, 2019 and July 31, 2020. You may submit your application as soon as points are accumulated, but no later than July 31, 2020. Troops will be recognized in the council newsletter and social media pages. Each troop will receive $50 in troop funds, and every girl registered in the troop at the time of the award will receive a patch.

  • Scout Uniform, Scout Sign, Salute and Handshake
    In this Topic: Participation Promise and Law Scout Uniform, Scout Salute and Scout Handshake Scouts and Flags Scouting History Discussion with the Scout Leader Introducing Tenderfoot Level The Journey Life in the Troop is a journey. As in any journey one embarks on, there needs to be proper preparation for the adventure ahead. This is important so as to steer clear of obstacles and perils, which, with good foresight, can often be avoided. As Scouts we follow our simple motto: Be Prepared! With this in mind you can start your preparations for the journey ahead… The Tenderfoot This level offers a starting point for a new member in the troop. For those Cubs whose time has come to move up from the pack, the Tenderfoot level is a stepping stone linking the pack with the troop. For those scouts who have joined from outside the group, this will be the beginning of their scouting life. How do I achieve this level? The five sections in this level can be done in any order. If you are a Cub Scout moving up from the pack, you will have already started the Cub Scout link badge. The Tenderfoot level is started at the same time. As you can see some of the requirements are the same for both awards. If you have just joined the scouting movement as part of the troop, this level will provide you with all the basic information to help you learn what scouting is all about. Look at the sheet on the next page so that you are able to keep track of your progress.

  • Boy Scout Joining Requirements
    Other Joining Requirements from page 4 of the Boy Scout Handbook Demonstrate the Scout Sign, Salute, and Handshake Scout Sign The Scout sign shows you are a Scout. Give it each time you recite the Scout Oath and Law. When a Scout or Scouter raises the Scout sign, all Scouts should make the sign, too, and come to silent attention. To give the Scout sign, cover the nail of the little finger of your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your right arm bent in a 90-degree angle, and hold the three middle fingers of your hand upward. Those fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. Your thumb and little finger touch to represent the bond that unites Scouts through out the world. Scout Salute The Scout salute shows respect. Use it to salute the flag of the United States of America. You may also salute a Scout leader or another Scout. Give the Scout salute by forming the Scout sign with your right hand and then bringing that hand upward until your forefinger touches the brim of your hat or the arch of your right eyebrow. The palm of your hand should not show. Scout Handshake The Scout handshake is made with the hand nearest the heart and is offered as a token of friendship. Extend your left hand to another Scout and firmly grasp his left hand. The fingers do not interlock. Describe the Scout Badge The badge is shaped like the north point on an old compass. The design resembles an arrowhead or a trefoil – a flower with three leaves.

And in this unseen, spiritual way you can give them your uplifting sympathy and friendship. Thus do we Guides, of all kinds and of all ages and of all nations, go with the highest and the best towards the spreading of true peace and goodwill on earth. Window on my heart (1983), Lady Baden-Powell and Mary Drewery, p. 182 Table of Contents This event toolkit has been a wonderful collaboration of ideas and resources, and we are thankful for the following groups: ☙ WAGGGS ☙ Girl Scouts River Valleys ☙ GSME MDI Service Unit ☙ GSME Merrymeeting Service Unit Introduction .......................................................................................3 World Thinking Day Event Planning Information........................4 Event Planning Timeline and Checklist ........................................9 World Thinking Day Activities ...................................................... 15 Appendix ......................................................................................... 29 2 Introduction World Thinking Day is officially celebrated as an international friendship day to celebrate friendships near and far on February 22nd of each year. However, Service Units may decide to hold their events before or after February 22nd for the ease of planning and attendance. World Thinking Day is a special day set aside for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to develop awareness about their sisters around the world, explore cultural similarities and differences across the globe, and learn about issues that girls and women around the world face. The date was selected because it was both the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts and the inspiration to Juliette Gordon Low, and Lady Baden-Powell, one of the first World Chief Guides.
