How big is your troop?
We currently have ~ 40 girls registered with the troop, ranging in age from 5 to 18. Each squad within the troop is led by a minimum of two trained adult volunteers.
Does a parent need to stay at every meeting?
Parent attendance requirements vary based on the volunteer position of the parent. We have a parent participation requirement to ensure that all families are contributing to the functioning of the troop. We encourage all parents to take an active role in the troop structure.
I have sons, and other small children. Can I bring them with me to the AHG meetings?
Tagalong care is provided during regular troop meetings for those parents who are currently serving in a volunteer position.
Do you have events on days other than Tuesdays?
Yes, we have optional events such as service opportunities, outdoor events (including camping trips), and other special events. We are all busy families and recognize that not all members can attend every event. Each family chooses which events to attend.
Do you meet over the summer?
The troop is inactive during the summer and hence, there are no formal meetings. We do have optional activities including mini day camps, service projects, and the opportunity to attend regional summer camp.
