What is Early Bird?
You might have heard your troop leader mention the term "Early Bird" or maybe you have seen it on our website and wondered what that meant.
Early Bird is term we use to remind troops and their families to make a commitment to the Girl Scout program and pre-register early for the new 2013-2014 Girl Scout membership year. This pre-registration incentive program begins on April 16th and ends on June 14th. All girls that pre-register will receive a cute Early Bird patch!
We encourage you to reach out to your troop leaders and ask them what you can do to help the troop qualify as an Early Bird troop.
Remember, that your daughter does not have to be a member of a Girl Scout troop to participate in the movement. If she is looking for an alternative to troop participation, please visit our website to learn more about the other flexible ways she can stay connected. Pre-registering her for the new Girl Scout year is easy, simply go to our website to make the commitment online. For registration assistance, please email the help desk at helpdesk@gsgcf.org.
