Sept.
07 Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital (GSCNC) ~
Annual "Share Her Annual Real Expenses" (SHARE)
Troop Programs Fund Raising Campaign
SHARE
Goal/Factoids:
Last Year we
raised $2,657 (of $3400) or 78% (only $743 from goal, not bad). Every
bit helps so this is still a significant contribution/effort by our
families to the world of scouting! Thanks so much!!
This year our goal is again $3,400, and we hope to meet it by everyone
participating at what ever level you can. Sometimes Aunts, Uncles,
Grandparents or friends are looking for a way to support your scout,
they can contribute on behalf of your scout! Also some companies will
match your contribution dollar for dollar. There is a list in your
troop SU instruction booklet. Our SU has met goal several years previously,
lets do it again this year!
If you have already been SHARE trained from a previous year you can
pick up your SHARE envelop at my house today (address below, Sunday,
9/16 until 8 pm or at the next SU meeting on 10/11). All troops please
read the message below and SHARE it with your troop families!
SU 80-9 SHARE Message:
Welcome to another year of scouting!!!!
Due to SHARE no girl has to miss girl scouting due to financial limitations.
GSCNC will support those girls who need financial aid assistance while
at the same time providing subsidized programs for all scouts, their
leaders, and their families. Read this Email to your troop parents
and relatives to help you in explaining what SHARE provides ~~
to and for your girl scout(s)!!
TROOP SUPPORT: If you are a Daisy
troop (K) and just starting out SHARE helps support
the team to get you started and to provide you beginner opportunities
tailored for young audiences/scouts. If you are a Brownie
troop (1st to 3rd grade) first to third year there
are subsidized activities for you to do as a troop in Mosaics such
as local plays in Alexandria a dinner theater and aquarium and zoo
safari days. If you are a Junior troop
(4th to 6th grade) there are more challenging activities
for early teens such as camping, badge programs, and other activities
to get you ready for being a leader in your community including a
Bronze award. If you are a Cadette (7th
to 9th grade unless you bridge up early via Silver
Award) there are even more challenging activities such as trips, overnight
camping, hiking, water activities, career day, Silver award and much
more. If you are a Senior (10th to 12th grade unless you bridged early
from Cadettes via Silver award), there are activities to hone your
leadership and senior teen outdoor and career skills getting you ready
to lead beyond the troop and if its your choice when pursuing the
college experience.
ADULTS: Also for the leaders and families that support
you from Daisies to Brownies there is Girl Scout Council of the Nation's
Capital (GSCNC) free and subsidized training from First Aid/CPR necessary
for all troops (at least one adult unless precertified from Red Cross
etc), camping certification (brownie troops and up), travel training
(to go beyond 50 miles from your troop meeting location), and other
fun activity trainings including a Leaderfest every year in January
for all troop leaders and their families as well as many other craft
