Your First Parent/Guardian Meeting A parent/guardian meeting, or a meeting of your friends-and-family network (as encouraged in many of the leadership Journeys), is a chance for you to get to know the families of the girls in your troop. You are free to structure the parent/guardian meeting in whatever way works for you, but the following structure works for many new volunteers: Before the Meeting: �� During the Meeting: �� 76 Volunteer Essentials
�� After the Meeting: �� Forming a Troop Committee You’ll want to involve other adults in the troop—there’s no need to go it alone or depend on too few adults! Many hands make light work, and the role is more fun when it’s shared. Think about the people you know whom you admire, who connect with children (especially girls), who are dependable and responsible, and who realistically have time to spend volunteering. (Remember that these adults will need to register as Girl Scout members, �ll out volunteer application forms, take online learning sessions, and review written resources.) Consider business associates, neighbors, former classmates, friends, and so on. If you have trouble �nding reliable, quality volunteers to assist, talk to your volunteer support team for advice and support. Remember: Be sure every chaperone reviews and follows the twelve Girl Scout Safety Guidelines, available both in the “Welcome to Girl Scouting” section on page 1 of this handbook and “Chapter 5: Safety Information” beginning on page 49. Your troop committee members might help by: �� A troop committee may be made up of general members or may include speci�c positions, such as: � Cookie Manager:�� Transportation Coordinator:�� Record Keeper:�� Set up positions that work for you, and draw on other volunteers who possess skill sets that you may lack. When you’re ready to invite parents, neighbors, friends, colleagues, and other respected adults to work with you, send them a letter and invite them to their �rst troop committee meeting. (Note: The adult guides for the Girl Scout Daisy, Brownie, and Junior leadership Journeys include a sample welcome letter and a friends/family checklist to assist you in expanding your troop’s adult network.)
