School Organizers
Thinking of starting a
troop? Be sure to talk with your School Organizer! The School
Organizer is there to help you! Along with recruiting and placing girls into troops, part of their job is
to provide some guidance for new leaders and
troops. If they don't have the answer, at least they can steer you in the
right direction!
Please contact your
School Organizer at any time! They are here to help!
