Troop Catalog Update

Hundreds of girls in our council miss out on Girl Scouting every year because they cannot find a troop able or willing to let them join. Please be a sister to every Girl Scout by opening your troop to new member! Let us know that you are welcoming new girls by filling out the form below.

We’ll take this information and update our online registration system to have your troop appear as an option for new families. These updates also help council staff know they can place new girl members in your troop. Even if you can’t take new girls, please let us know so staff can prioritize reaching out to troops who can take in new members.

Troop Description
Let new families know what they can expect if they join your troop. Parents love to know what sorts of activities your girls prefer, if you go to camp together, etc.

Feel free to copy from samples descriptions below to help build your troop's description. If you do not provide a description, the default description will be used.
Troop Description Samples

Default Description: This is an established Girl Scout troop that meets regularly through the school year. Troops are encouraged to choose badges, awards, and activities that give girls a broad experience. Girls will build life skills as they gain new friends.

Sample Artistic Troop: We are an artistic troop that loves to be creative! In addition to pursuing our leadership and service activities, the girls tend to pursue the more artistic badges and projects. We tend to take a break each summer, resuming in the fall.

Sample Outdoorsy Troop: Our troop loves the outdoors! We make sure to go to camp at least once during the school year – at least for day events if not an overnight. We also go to camp together each summer, and have a goal to sell enough cookies for horse camp this year.
We meet right after school, so the times sometimes flex due to travel and the girls' schedules.

Sample Sporty Troop: Our troop’s girls are very active with school sports and choose Girl Scout activities that supplement those interests. We go to camp each year, and the girls favor the health and activity badges. We also love to attend the “Girl Scout Nights” with our local sporting teams.

Sample Science-Loving Troop: This troop loves science! The girls love working on the STEM badges, and we plan to go to Robotics Camp together this summer. The girls also have a passion for improving our community, and we’ll be working on our Bronze Award this year.
