Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest host online Robot Building Recruitment party through Nov. 24
The Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest is hosting an Online Robot Building Recruitment Party. For girls in grades kindergarten through third, girls can join the online party Tuesday, Oct. 6 through Nov. 24 at 6 p.m. MDT. For girls in grades four through 12, girls can join the online party Thursday, Oct. 1 through Nov. 19 at 6 p.m.
Each new membership year, Girl Scouts promote the recruitment of new girls. Recruitments are usually held in-person at recruitment events, however, this year - with social distancing and gathering restrictions - Girl Scouts have embraced new technology with virtual programs and meetings.
Girls of all ages are invited to get to know Girl Scouts in the online robot building recruitment party. Interested parties can join online at www.gsdsw. com, click on “Robot Building Party” and “RSVP today.” At that point, a form will need to be filled out and the Girl Scout Council will send a confirmation email with a provided Zoom link to join the party at the specified date and time.
While girls interested in Girl Scouts are learning about robots, parents will be able to learn how Girl Scouts help their girls be their best, bravest, and boldest selves through exciting opportunities, activities, and the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law. At the end of the meeting, parents or guardians will be able to register their girls and council staff will be on hand to assist them if needed.
Currently, there are two troops in Big Spring. To create a troop, only five girls and two unrelated adults are needed. A parent or other adult can register to become a leader. A background check is required, along with necessary training and support provided by the council. Meeting frequency and location is decided by the troop.
Each week, Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest host virtual troop meetings where girls have the potential to make new friends, socialize, share stories, and learn new things. Newly registered
