2014 Registration - GSEP is going paperless


2014 Registration GSEP is Going Paperless

Our local Girl Scout Council office has a goal to have 100% of eligible membership registration completed online using the Online Registration System.

Holy Infancy is a "funded troop" which means that funds from the United Way are given to the GSEP to help us cover some of the costs of the program. United Way funding covers annual membership fee, sashes, basic insignia (the GSEP Council Identification set, troop numbers), and one journey book, one journey badge set and one badge. If membership fees can be paid by families, the United Way funding can be used for more troop activities for the girls including registrations for service unit activities and badges.

If you need financial for the membership registration, I will have paper financial aid forms for you to fill out. However, if you can consider covering the $15 membership fee for your girl scout, please visit the GSEP website which includes how to video's. 

If you choose to pay for the membership fee online, PLEASE forward the email confirmation to me at silaghwhite@gmail.com


Early Bird Registration
Early Bird registration for 2013-2014 takes place between May 3 andJune 30.

Girls who register online during this time will receive a special patch incentive. Girls who submit COMPLETE financial aid applications in addition to girls responding to the voucher email prior to June 30 will also receive the Early Bird patch.


Badge Report Form


For each badge the girl complete independently, please have them fill out the form (most badges have five requirements; although extra steps are always encouraged) and add an adult signature. Copies of the form will be available at all troop meetings.

Welcome to the Junior/Cadette Holy Infancy Girl Scout Blog

Hello!

As we embark on a new journey for the girl scouts at Holy Infancy, I thought we could begin by saying, "Hello! Welcome to the new blog."

The intentions for this blog are to support parents and caregivers of the girls involved in the Junior and Cadette level. I'll be posting:

  1. Information from the Girl Scouts of Eastern PA office (registration, permissions, deadlines, etc.)
  2. Ideas for the whole troop consideration (troop meetings, group activities, Bronze Award)
  3. Badge information for girls to work on independently.
This blog will also offer a space for girls to share their work and achievements, as well as to share the story of our troop to the rest of the school, the community and to the world!
