Planning a Caregiver Meeting 

  • The parent meeting is a time to introduce yourself and your co-leader to the parents and family members of the girls in the troop. This is also a time to establish the importance of family involvement in the troop. Girls can attend the parent meeting if you wish, or you can focus on the adult aspect only.
  • Forms for the meeting can be found on the GSHOM website here: Forms and Documents
        o Annual Forms for Leaders to keep on file for each girl.
           These forms should be completed at the start of each year:
        - Girl/Adult Health History (this includes registered volunteers)
        - Girl Release
        - Permission to Sell

Advertising a Caregiver Meeting

  • Flyers can be requested from your Membership Specialist to advertise for first troop meeting or other events in the future.
       o If you know of additional marketing methods at your school or in your community, please share the information with your Membership Specialist, as they can assist with appropriate materials.
  • Fillable invitations, social media graphics and more can be found on our Media Toolkit under the Membership dropdown.
