Are you a lifetime member?
One of the benefits of being a lifetime member is that there is no need to renew your membership annually. However, we ask that all lifetime members log into myAccount during Early Bird and renew any volunteer roles they might currently hold.
Are you a troop leader AND a lifetime member? Just a reminder that while you don't need to renew your membership, you can:
• Renew girl and adult members in your troop.
• Renew any adult roles.
• Update your troop meeting information.
• Check for CBC (criminal background check) expiration dates for yourself and other adults.

The Okay to Say™ patch program helps girls develop greater social and emotional confidence. Through a series of hands-on activities, girls will increase their social awareness and interpersonal skills. Girls will also learn how to be more considerate and caring Girl Scouts as they explore the impact emotions and thoughts have on their own and others' behavior. Parents and volunteers will get helpful resources to support their girls’ mental health and wellness.
Girls will learn about emotions, empathy, the stigma of mental health, stress, learning to ask for help, how to create a mental health safety plan, and more.
Use this patch program as a resource all year long! This patch program was created in partnership with Okay to Say and the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute.
Once girls have completed the requirements, please complete the online reporting form to be eligible for a FREE Okay to Say Patch. Only one entry per troop or Juliette is required. Online reporting form: www.gsnetx.org/ patchform
