Girl Scouting -- For Every Girl, Everywhere!
As a Junior Leader, you're going to have a wonderful year with your girls. Here are
some helpful program tips.

Activities To Do With Your Juniors--


Training -- The Junior Age Level Training will teach all you need to know about
running your Junior Girl Scout Troop -- From troop crests, to the Signs, to the Bronze
Award and patrols,  training will answer all of your questions.  Make sure you check
the
Training Calendar and schedule your Junior Age Level Training as soon as
possible if you have not already taken it.

Ask Questions -- Feel free to contact anyone on the Service Unit Team with your
questions.  Most Team Members have led a variety of levels and can help you solve
any problems.  Team Members and other leaders are also a great resource for new
ideas and advice.

Forms, Forms, Forms -- Make sure that you have all appropriate forms for your girls.
A good idea is to keep them all organized in a troop binder that you can keep with you
at meetings and events.  You will need:

Uniforms --  It's up to your troop what your policy on uniforms will be.  Some troops
require full uniforms, while others only require a vest or sash.  Some troops even
make troop t-shirts.  It's helpful for you, as the leader, to know the proper placement
of insignia.  These handouts are helpful for you and the parents in your troop:

Badge Work -- Junior Girl Scouts are encouraged to work on badges and awards on
their own.  Use this useful form to help Juniors keep track of the  badge work they do
at home!

First Meetings -- Need some ideas for your first couple of meetings? Don't fret.  Take
a look at this simple 6 meeting plan that will jump start your Brownie Girl Scout year!
