Hi! My name is Emilee Rea and I really, really like to be organized. I joined a newly forming troop in March 2012 with my eldest daughter who was then in Kindergarten and within a couple months was asked to take over the co-leader position because the original co-leader didn't really want to be a leader and the main leader couldn't do it all herself. I felt really lost. I was a Brownie and a Junior as a kid, but the badges all looked different and I couldn't find anything that we could use to track what we were doing. I assumed that GSUSA would have badge checklists and meeting plans just ready for the taking! What do you mean I have to track financials? Why are there so many different kinds of permission slips? Cookies? Ummm.....
So, training helps with a lot of those, but not everything. Now that I know better, I've been creating all of the resources that I need to keep my troop organized. I created this blog as a way to organize the resources I put together and to have a central place to keep track of all of the things that I share in various social media groups.
You may freely share the link to this blog to any member of Girl Scouts that you feel would benefit. If I provide a link to an editable document, you have permission to edit that thing to suit your needs.
I don't really like all of my stuff getting added into the various Files sections of Facebook Groups because then other leaders are not getting the updates when I make changes, so if you'd please include a link back to here when you post my creations to files, I'd feel much better. :)
If you have any questions, you can find me on Facebook or email me.
