Did you know that Girl Scout Leaders day is April 22nd? As a past Girl Scout Troop Leader, I can tell you that you have no idea how much time, effort, and money is put in by your local Girl Scout Troop Leaders. On our own time, we have to attend training, we have to attend monthly Girl Scout Leader meetings, and we have to set up what we are going to do in our meetings. During cookie season, we have to organize cookie orders, pick up thousands of cookies, and set up cookie booths. We may also do silly things like dress up as a cookie to get a few more cookie sales:
We are also making phone calls to have a guest speaker or getting supplies at Michael's or Hobby Lobby before a troop meeting. We pick up the badges that the girls earn too. That is just a small glimpse into what your local Girl Scout Troop leader is doing and why you should definitely extend a thank you! Head over to the Tampico website for a few things you can do to help celebrate your local Girl Scout Leaders!
What have you done for your local Girl Scout troup leader in the past? Have any of these ideas helped you for this year?
