Manchester Girl Scouts Holding Round-Up for Girls and Looking for Adult Volunteers

Manchester Girl Scouts is holding a Round-Up THIS Tuesday, September 22 at Manchester United Methodist Church located at 501 Ann Arbor Street. All girls K – 12 interested in joining Girl Scouts are invited to attend. The Round-Up will be held at two different times, after school from 3:15 – 4 pm and in the evening from 6 – 7 pm to accommodate working parents. There are already existing troops that girls can join, or if enough new girls are interested and adults willing to be leaders, new troops can be formed.

Adult volunteers are needed and if being a leader seems like too big a commitment, there are other roles adults can take including co-leader, first aider, chaperone, product program manager, driver, skill teacher, camping volunteer, etc. Adults don’t have to have a daughter in scouting, they can just be community members interested in helping girls reach their potential.

If you or a girl you know is interested in joining Girl Scouts but can’t attend the Round-Up, please email manchestergirlscouts@gmail.com.
