Calling All Girl Scouts

The Girl Scouts of Scarsdale and Edgemont have begun forming new first and second grade troops to begin meeting in Fall, 2010. This scouting community encompasses the seven Scarsdale schools, the three Edgemont schools and the IHM School. More than 800 girls participate in 65 troops. In addition 30 leader volunteers work at the community level to provide programming and support for the troops and their leaders.

All parents whose girls are interested in being a Daisy (in the first grade) or Brownie ( in the 2nd grade) can learn more and register on the website segirlscouts.org.

In order for a troop to form at least two adult volunteers must be certified as leaders. To learn more about being a troop leader refer to the group’s website. Leadership training is free, easy to complete and very useful.

The organization asks that registrations be submitted by April 24th so that new leaders may train this spring. In addition, girls of any age ( 1st-12th grade) are welcomed to join an existing troop and can register their interest also on the website. For further questions please contact Marylou Green at 725-4683 or email coopergree@aol.com, or Carmela Crawford , Administrative Director, Scarsdale/Edgemont Girl Scouts (914) 472-7842, ccrawford@tia-cref.org
