COPPER CREEK MEADOWS COMMUNITY GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL
Girl Scouts from the Copper Creek Meadows Community are looking forward to their summer vacations! For many of our girls, that summer vacation will include attendance at Girl Scout camps. San Jacinto Council offers a variety of resident day and twilight camps for that include a chance to make new friends, try new activities and learn new skills. Information on all the council camps is available from the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council web site, www.gssjc.org. Our Community Bridging event in May brought out troops moving on to the next level of Girl Scouting. Girls crossed a bridge to be greeted with a smile and a Girl Scout handshake from a representative of her new level. Many of them had their new vests or sashes ready to be worn for the first time- or the first OFFICIAL time! Junior Girl Scout troop 16435 has been working on their Bronze Award by hosting a donation drive for the SPCA. The girls also made no-sew fleece blankets as part of their activities. Brownie troop 16048 celebrated their first year as Brownies by performing the Brownie investiture ceremony around the magic pool. Daisy troop 113001 took their whole families camping on the Trinity River- and had a great time! Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5 (must be in kindergarten) through 17 who are willing to accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Girls may join at any level, and no previous Scouting experience is required. Don’t forget that many of our most exciting opportunities are available to older girls! Copper Creek Meadows Community serves girls in the residence areas for the following elementary schools (plus the corresponding middle and high schools); Birkes, Fiest, Lowery, Copyright © 2014 Peel, Inc.

Home schooled and private school students are always welcome. We also need adults as leaders and volunteers in a variety of areas! We can’t have Girl Scout troops without Girl Scout leaders! You don’t have to be Martha Stewart, Ranger Rick, or Wonderwoman. You don’t even have to have children! You do have to have an interest in working with girls, accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law pass a background check and take some training. Only a little training is needed to get started, but a lot more is available if you want to take advantage of it. Do you have a special talent or interest you’d like to share?
