This year we only had 12 girls coming back to the troop which was good cause that was double the amount that we started with the year before. We started preparing for recruiting in August.
We made plans to be at the local health fair, and all three of the Meet the Teacher nights at the schools! We had a couple girls at each event there to hand out flyers and bracelets to girls that might want to join Girl Scouts!
We made a slide show video to post on our local city Facebook page. That had everything we had done for the past year in pictures!
We went to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade school to do a Girl Scout Rally at lunch time to get girls ready for the recruitment party!
We posted some more on the local city Facebook page to advertise for the recruitment party.
We also planned, with our service unit team, a Recruitment Party! Girls were able to come and go to 6 different stations. They got to learn the Promise & Law, sing songs, play games, make indoor Smore's, and make SWAP's. While the girls were doing their stations we were able to meet with the new parents to talk about Council, Service Unit, and Troop information!
After all of that we came out with 11 new Girl Scouts! But it didn't end there........
All the new moms started posting pictures of their new Girl Scouts on their pages, the city page had people asking about more information for about Girl Scouts. Before we knew it our returning troop of 12 girls had turned into nearly 40 by the end of October!
