Today's active girls like to do a variety of fun and challenging activities. Parents are so important to the success of Girl Scouting. They help you, and at the same time have fun with their daughter. Girl Scouts inviting friends to your fun meetings and activities is the best way to introduce girls to the exciting program offered through Girl Scouting. The cost of insurance is a small one to pay for the addition of a new Girl Scout into your troop.
Adults are a troops most valuable resource for widening girls' horizons.
Let parents know their participation is expected and encouraged. A troop is only as great as the effort the parents put into it. Make sure that parents who come to help are involved in the meeting, not just watching from the side lines. Having a snack list and parent helper list for the year can really help too. But remember that any adult over the age of 18, including friends, family, and community members are encouraged to give their time, knowledge and skills to the worldwide Girl Scout movement.
