Reminders
- VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We are in urgent need of filling some positions for this coming Fall. It
is important that we establish these roles over the Summer, so
we can provide training and mentorship before Fall hits. Some of
the positions we need to fill are:
School Organizer/Recruiter: we need ORs for each
school to help new troops get started and to find troop homes
for any girls at your school who are interested in joining
scouting. This job involves attending the New Member Night in
September and calling to check up on any new troops in your
school a couple times the first year to make sure they’re
thriving. There is council-level training for this position –
it’s optional but highly recommended.
Event Organizer: our goal is to have special event
offerings for the girls every month during the school year.
There is council-level training for this position – it’s
optional. If
you’re willing to help organize one of these events, email us at
.
Vice-SUM: the Service Unit Manager position is supposed to turn
over every 3-4 years. I need a backup volunteer willing to learn
about the job and be ready to take over next year – knowing
several former SUMs are still active in our service unit and
willing to help!
- Annual Troop Finance Reports were due on June 15th.
Please return them to Judy ASAP -- call
881-8804 for details.
- Next mandatory Piper Valley meeting is August 10.
