S.H.A.R.E. to support Girl Scouts

Time to S.H.A.R.E. your donation to support Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey! Return the envelope you received through your daughter's troop leader. Instructions are in the brochure that accompanied the envelope.

Please give what you can this year! Council needs support from all of us to provide camps, programs, and services for our girls and background checks and training for our adult volunteers.

Happy summer! Before you take off on vacation, please be sure you’ve wrapped up all the loose ends from this year in GS:

• Year-end financial statement: A revised form is available on the FORMS page. Please have your troop treasurer complete this and return it to Susan Tomljanovic by July 15. You can email her the form but you MUST postal-mail her your bank statement from either May or June or July. YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT FOR TURNING IN YOUR REPORT UNLESS SUSAN ALSO GETS A COPY OF THE BANK STATEMENT. Any questions about financial reports to Susan at STomljanovic@comcast.net or 789-0009.

• Registration forms for next year must be dropped off to your school organizer or Debra Slaugh by June 30 (next week) for on-time registration. Troops that are registered on time will get a pass to register for a council-run program before registrations open to anyone else. (Council programs are the ones on this website but the 2010-2011 ones aren’t there yet.)

• Speaking of council programs, there is still room in the August “Geek Squad program” and the July older girls conference at Georgian Court University.

• Service reports: please tell us about the 2 (or more) service projects your troop did this year, The form is available on the FORMS page and please email it to Liz Strong.

• Please follow this link to the June 4 issue of the Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey e-news, and Please follow this link to our special GIRL NEWS EDITION of the Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey e-news. To get your troop’s news in the council newsletter, email it to nzimmerman@gshnj.org. To get your troop news on our FSP GS website, email it to fspgirlscouts@gmail.com.

Be on the lookout in August for news about recruitment night, nuts sale, and the SHARE program… have a great summer!

Yours in girl scouting,
Julie Murphy

Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:

To serve God* and my country,

To help people at all times,

And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

* The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.
 

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong, and

responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place, and

be a sister to every Girl Scout.
