Additional NotesTell us more about your troop! Use the space below to provide us with any additional information about your troop, such as your troop focus and areas of interest, if you’re a team-led troop, or if you’re looking for a co-leader. If your troop centers a specific cultural community, we’d love to know that. Culturally specific troops are dedicated to focusing on one or more cultural identities, such as gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, neurological diversity, and more. Troops can be culturally specific and welcome members from various communities. More about culturally specific troops A culturally specific troop can provide enriching experiences tailored to the shared cultural background of its members. For instance, if your troop consists primarily of Hmong Girl Scouts, you may integrate Hmong songs, games, and traditions into your troop meetings. Your troop may also choose to engage in community service projects that benefit local Hmong cultural centers or non-profit organizations, or plan troop outings to participate in Hmong celebrations within the community. Your troop may focus on and create programming that acknowledges and celebrates the diverse identities of troop members, including those who identify as gender non-binary, transgender, or as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Your troop may center those who are neurodivergent, meaning your troop is prepared to include youth from the neurodiverse communities including those on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, learning differences like dyslexia, and Down syndrome. This may involve considering factors such as noise levels, lighting, and other sensory inputs to create a comfortable and inclusive space for all troop members. By embracing and celebrating cultural identities, troops can create an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
