Friendly reminder for our meeting Monday, February 6.

For anyone Girl Scout who was registered to attend the Dec encampment and did not make it, please remember our troop has a reimbursement policy so we are never wasteful with our girl's hard-earned cookie money. Our girls have big goals this season, we are going to need every penny. Thank you!

I just received confirmation from the Concord Station clubhouse and all of our dates for 2020 have been approved!!

Our 1st meeting of the year is NEXT, MONDAY!! I’m so excited to see you all on Monday, January 13, 2020 at 6PM.

Hello all, I just posted a poll on our private group page. Please go vote for your preference.

Hello everyone!

This post is for all the DAISIES attending encampment. A major change has been made for the equestrian rotation. Daisies will NOT be riding horses but instead get a barn tour with mini horses and a cart ride. Please see snapshot below. If you would like to opt out of horseback riding please let me know so I can request a refund.

Any girls that opt out of participating in the equestrian event will still need to sit there while the other girls participate. I need to know by 12pm today if you would like a refund.

Brownie parents/girls this change doesn’t pertain to you.

Happy Thanksgiving Girl Scouts!! Thank you for joining us on this new journey as we navigate the Girl Scout and troop leader life. We are so thankful to all you for being amazing parents, for pitching in when we need, for signing up to bring snacks and drinks and most importantly for your patience. We’ve had a few small hiccups here and there but you have all been amazing. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING 🦃

Children Gasparilla Parade 2020 - January 18, 2020

Who can attend?
All registered Girl Scouts and their parents and siblings...anyone under 6 (who is not a girl scout) MUST be in a stroller or wagon to walk in the parade. We suggest wagons for walkers especially for younger troops in order to carry beads and the possibility of tired girls! We do purchase event insurance for tag-a-longs and unregistered adults. We are getting an unusual amount of interest in the parade this year, so keep in mind we may have to limit the number of additional people who walk in the parade. We will know this later.

When is the parade?
January 18, 2020

What time?
3:30 pm-6:00 pm...plan on being as late at 7 pm...depending on our spot in the lineup.

Where is the Parade?
The parade begins promptly at 3:30 pm at the corner of Bay to Bay Blvd and Bayshore Blvd. All floats and people line up along Bayshore Blvd. starting as early as 1:30 pm. Our spot in the lineup will determine how early troops will need to arrive before the parade starts. Typically its around 2:30 pm. The parade route is 1.4 miles long on Bayshore...our spot in the parade lineup also adds some extra walking distance.

What is the cost and what does that include?
Included in the cost is registration, patch and beads per paid person. Number of beads is dependent on number of registered girls.

Patch has a new design every year with the current year on it and uses the same words "GSWCF Celebrates Children Gasparilla Parade" that way it includes all girls who attend no matter which Service Unit they are from!

Walkers pay $20 per person
Float riders pay $70 per person (the maximum number of float riders is 30)
