Interested in Girl Scouts?

girl scouts

Scouts is a great way for your daughter to make new friends and learn leadership skills! It’s not just cookies, crafts, and camping—it’s also about courage, confidence, and character. Our contemporary curriculum supports STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), the arts, ecological awareness, social action and more. Troops meet by grade at Lincoln but we do occasional school-wide activities too. Registration starts now for the 2014-15 school year. Please contact your grade-level leaders for more information!

4th Grade Juniors: Meets the FIRST Monday of the month in room 11 at Lincoln from 6 pm – 7:15. Except in September we will be meeting on September 8 due to the Labor Day holiday. Contact Irene Wolinski (“irenewolinski AT yahoo.com”) or Suzi Schrader (“suzischrader AT yahoo.com”).

3rd Grade Brownies: Meet in the evening once a month on the 3rd Mondays. Contact Katie Moroney (“moroneykatie AT yahoo.com”) or Lurana Brown (“luranajbrown AT yahoo.com”).

2nd Grade Brownies: Meet one Thursday a month after school. Contact Vanessa Druckman for more information (vanessadruckman AT gmail.com).

1st Grade Daisies: Meet once a month right after school on Thursdays. Contact Lurana Brown (“luranajbrown AT yahoo.com”).

Kindergarten Daisies: Your daughter’s troop starts with you! You only need 5 girls and 2 adults to form a new troop. The troop stays together as they move up in school. As soon as we have enough interest, we can hold an informational meeting for kindergarten.  Training and resources are available—contact Lurana for information and support (“luranajbrown AT yahoo.com”).
