Meetings
Girl Scout meetings are held the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fridays of the months that school is in session. A link to our calendar on the left. Meetings are at 99 Washington on the 2nd floor. There's no need to bring girls to the meetings. 2nd graders are transported to 682 with the bus students. Then all Girl Scouts are walked across the street with their leaders.
Meetings are from 4:15-5:45pm. Please try not to pick up your daughter before 5:40p as we doing snack and closing circles. However, picking up your child after 6:00p prevents us from spending time with our own children.
Parents arriving after 6:00 will be subject to a $1/minute late fee which is payable when the girl scout is picked up.

Fall Camping 
Our first trip this year will be an overnight camping trip to Camp Lou Henry Hoover in Newton, NJ, the weekend of October 25-27. We'll spend Friday and Saturday nights sleeping in cabins. We'll have a fun day, get to go paddle boating, do archery, tackle a ropes course, hiking and more. And we'll complete several badges. Although we are not sleeping in tents, everyone will need a sleeping bag or bed roll. It's $10 per girl ($15 per adult) and includes all activities, food, tent camping and transportation. Due to their age, all Daisies must be accompanied by an adult. We have limited cabin space, so pay your for the trip asap! All payments are due October 11th as we must givve a roster of attendees to the council.
