Girl Program Information 2016

FOLLOW-UP INFO The moms can go ahead and get the badges for the girls at the GS Store. It is "common courtesy" to inform your girl's leader that she earned these badges at another GS program. The leader will probably keep track, but the troop doesn't usually buy badges for individually earned awards.

YOUNGER GIRLS If you'd like copies of the badge requirements -- full copy -- please write to jeanbbaxter@gmail.com Girls also participated in Kaile's Silver Project, supporting the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Shelter, and in Nina's Silver Project, sending "pillowcase dresses" to Tanzania. [|pictures are here]
