Are you interested in joining Girl Scouts for the
2009-2010 Girl Scout Year?

Let us know now as we are forming troops for next year!

 

Freehold Service Unit (FSU) is one of 36 service units that are under the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore council.  Our service unit is home to 63 Girl Scout troops, Juliettes, and independent adults from Freehold Township, Freehold Borough, and our surrounding towns.  

Our troops are organized primarily by school, but increasingly, we are starting troops of mixed schools within the same grade.  Most troops meet every two weeks, but some choose to meet only once a month. The time, date, location, and frequency of troop meetings is based on the availability of the volunteer troop leader(s).  

We are helping our girls to be the  community leaders of the future.  They will have the skills to lead with courage, confidence, and character, so they can make the world a better place.  

Are you interested in volunteering?  Is your daughter looking for a troop?  Please look under the Join Girl Scouts menu for more information.

 
GS Journeys

Did you try the first round of Journey Books - It's Your World Change it?  The next Journey series is coming out this fall, so keep checking with the council store to see when it comes in!

The Journeys series along with try-it/badge, and IPA earnings make up a complete Girl Scout program to offer to your girls.  The bottom line is that no matter how you structure your activities in your troop or which Girl Scout resources you use - just make sure to follow the Discover + Connect + Take Action = Girl Scout Leadership model of Girl Scouting.
