Girl Scouts

Did you know that Girl Scouts has a home school program? Well, if not, here is some big news: They do!! It is called the Juliette program. The pluses for this program are:

1. The girls can go at their own pace

2. You do not have to fit an extra activity into your weekly calendar

3. You can purchase the GS items as you have the money to, or need to.

4. The Juliette girls are still part of district, and can attend any of the girl scout events!

The cost is hardly anything- $12 per person! However, as a parent teaching your girl scout on your own, you will need to pay $12 for yourself as a leader. That is a total of $24. Not bad!

As the leader, you are required to follow a few steps:

1. Register and become a member as a troop leader

2. Sign up for event e-mails, so that you will be notified by your district as events are available

3. Do a background check via the link the district leader provides you- This will allow you to be with your daughter at events as her leader

4. Attend online training to become informed and be the best leader you can be

Now, that's it!  Time to move on to getting started in the program.

Every district has a store where you can purchase all of the items you need.  If you can not, or do not want to go to the Girl Scout store, you can purchase most of the items online. 

The Juliette program is flexible, since your girls can start with whichever books and earn whichever badges they choose.  You, also, do not need to purchase the uniforms right away.  This is perfect for us because money is limited at this time. 

Go at the pace you and your girls wish to go, and enjoy the program!
