Join girl scouts today

LENAPE - It’s that time of the year again — no, not getting ready to go back to school — time to sign up for Girl Scouts, the world’s pre-eminent organization for girls. New troops and groups are forming at Girl Scouts: Lenni-Lenape Council (GSLLC), so sign up today, whether you are brand new, or a returning member. In Girl Scouting, girls discover new talents and hobbies, build friendships that truly last a lifetime, explore their communities, and experience the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Girls play a large role planning and implementing the activities. The Girl Scout program has four different levels, each specifically designed to meet the developmental, educational, emotional, and social needs of the age group. Daisy Girl Scouts is for girls in Kindergarten and first grade, or ages 5 and 6, Brownie Girl Scouts is for girls in first to third grade, or ages 6 to 8, Junior Girl Scouts is for girls in third to fifth grade, or ages 8 to 11, and Girl Scouts 11-17 is for girls in grades 6 to 12, or ages 11 to 17. Now is also a perfect time to sign up to be a volunteer for Girl Scouts. Volunteers are always needed as leaders, assistant leaders, and a variety of other exciting opportunities. Adults over the age of 18 are welcome to apply. Training is provided.
