For safety reasons. We do not make locations, dates and times of gatherings of girls available in publications or on the web, as both are available to the general public. We send exact locations to registered troops in event confirmations. If you would like location info before registering, please email lsouza@gscsm.org including your full name and troop affiliation, and she will email the info to you.
Where can I
find directions to an event?
In the confirmation that will be sent to participating
troops after registration closes. Confirmations are sent by
email unless the contact volunteer has requested paper mail.
Although we give directions, we cannot
anticipate the origination points of every troop and the
details on your end. Please consult MapQuest, as we do, for
complete directions from your starting point.
I’m a troop volunteer. Why
didn’t I receive an event confirmation?
There are several possible reasons. Your registration or
payment may be incomplete. Someone else’s name may be on the
application (confirmations are sent to the originators). You
may not have checked your email at the address given on the
application, or your email address may have changed since
you registered as a member. If none of these applies to you,
please contact
lsouza@gscsm.org.
Can girls who registered
but didn’t come receive patches?
Only registered girl members who attend an event are
entitled to patches.
Where do program
patches belong on the uniform?
On the back of the girl’s vest or sash.
Our volunteers are enthusiastic about the awards and patches the girls earn, and sometimes want to get a patch for themselves. However, in Girl Scouts there’s a distinction between awards and patches the girls earn and fun patches for adults. Please leave the girl awards for the girls, and take pride in wearing the uniform and insignia of adult Girl Scouts. It’s important that a person wear only awards that she has earned, and adults don’t earn girl awards.
Why can’t I bring as many
adults as I want to programs?
Sites we rent for programs have specified capacities. We
cannot accommodate extra adults without turning girls away
from programs, which we will not do. Consult Safety-Wise
for exact adult/girl ratios for programs.
Can I bring
non-participating children to a program?
Only registered Girl Scouts of the appropriate level may
participate in council programs. They are developmentally
and educationally appropriate only for the age group
specified. Other children will be asked to remain quietly in
the adult area, and must be under the direct supervision of
a parent at all times. No exceptions.
How do I know what to
bring to the program?
All info about the event will be contained in the
confirmation that you will receive via email or in the mail
(mail by special request only). The volunteer who registers
the troops will receive the confirmation.
Each program stands independently, but we suggest you attend them all. The series are designed to give girls a well-rounded experience spanning all aspects of the Girl Scout program, and to make it educational and fun. Patches assemble into one large patch and can also be worn individually.
If a
troop member decides to come at the last minute, can I bring
her?
Occasionally, cancellations allow us to take last minute
participants. You must contact us to find out if there is
possible. If there is, you will need to register the
additional girl through normal procedures. Call x18.
Are religious awards just
for Catholic girls?
No. Awards for many organized religions are available
through Girl Scouts, including most Protestant
denominations, Judaism, Friends, Eastern Orthodox, Islam,
Hinduism and Baha’i. Call x33 for info.
When should a girl start
working on a religious award?
She can start any time. The council event honoring those who
have completed religious awards is generally held in the
spring. If she would like to be recognized then, she should
schedule her work accordingly.
Do girls have to be in
troops to earn a religious award?
Religion is personal, and religious awards are earned
individually, not as troops.
