Now that you have decided to
be a Girl Scout leader you may have noticed the ever-growing stack of
paperwork you receive. Maybe it isn't quite that bad, but there are a
lot of forms. Here are a few of the basics:
Girl Registration
Form: Each and every girl in your troop must have one of these filled
out. You can get copies from your registrar or council representative
that are carbon, but in a pinch you can use the form here.
Adult
Registration Form: Just like the girl form, only for adults. If an
adult is going to drive members of your troop (other than their own
children) they must be a registered adult.
Permission Form: If your troop is leaving the meeting site for anything
more than a walk around the block, it's a good idea to get a parent
permission form (and it doesn't hurt to get one for that trip around the
block). When I print permission forms each trip has it's own paper
color so that I can easily tell which trip a girl has permission for.
Permission forms should be in the same vehicle as the girl they apply to
when on a trip.
Health History: Also a very important form that you must have for each
girl. A new form has to be filled out and signed each year.
Health history forms should be in the same vehicle as the girl they apply to
when on a trip.
