Service Unit: Sinagua
Troop 928 (Ambassadors)
Years as a troop leader: 15
What inspired you to become a troop leader?
One of the reasons I became a leader was to spend time with my girls and their friends teaching them to work as a team and give back to the community.
What kind of service projects have you done with your troop?
Together, we’ve helped Kids Against Hunger by packaging food, provided support for Relay for Life and donated to families in need during the holidays. Recently, we have been gathering lap blankets for our local hospice and nursing homes. So far, we have donated over 50 blankets.
What advice would you give other troop leaders?
My advice to other troop leaders would be to work collaboratively with other troops when planning events so all girls can benefit from them. Additionally, I would advise them to show kindness and support to all Girl Scouts no matter their age.
What would you like others to know about volunteer opportunities with the Girl Scouts?
I would like others to know that there are lots of volunteer opportunities with Girl Scouts, being a leader is just one of them! There are many roles that need to be filled in every neighborhood, and it takes a lot of use to fill those spots.
What are your troop’s cookie selling tips and tricks?
I encouraged my girls to use the online features to help with selling cookies over the years, but cookie booths are also a great to teach our girls leadership skills, product management and financing.
