Troop and Service Unit Teams: Help kickstart a new troop this spring by recruiting and mentoring a group of new Girl Scouts in your area. Troops and/or service units who recruit and mentor a new troop, with new volunteer leadership, will earn $50 for their troop (and an awesome Adventure with Girl Scouts hoodie for the mentor) or service unit and $50 for the new troop! Supporting the new troop for three to four sessions will ensure a great initial experience as new members and volunteers start their Girl Scout adventure!
Can you help launch a new Girl Scout Daisy troop?
The Girl Scouts Experience Box: For Daisies (formerly Daisy Supply Box) is back for another year! New K,1 Daisy troops in the fall, and new Daisy levels in multi-level troops, will be eligible to receive a complementary monthly supply box filled with step-by-step instructions, ready-to-go supplies, and thoughtful script suggestions for the Daisy First Year Troop Plan and will be delivered directly to new troop leaders.
