Hello to all Girl Scout Members on my UNofficial Mailing List.
And a reminder:
Did you know? (this just in) Via Kelle Lynn.
Kelle says, "Girl
Scouts of Kentuckiana's Camp Pennyroyal is celebrating it's 60th
Anniversary. The Site Team invites you and your loved ones to an Open
House on Sunday, October 1, 2017 from 2pm to 4pm CST. We will have
homemade desserts baked by the Site Team and punch for you to enjoy.
Please come out and enjoy the beauty and magic of Camp Pennyroyal for
the afternoon. Renew your memories! Come explore the Camp Pennyroyal you
love with those you love."
The FB info. page is here:

An alternate route to the flyer and info. is by contacting Skye or Kelle at PennyroyalSiteTeam@gmail.com.
Are you a Delegate or Alternate for the 2017 National Council Session? (Also known as The Girl Scout Convention?) Then come and join the new "Convention Chat" Unofficial group to discuss the official Proposals and more.
Here is that address: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1932893516980086/
Are you "Linked IN"?
You are Linked IN to current events, dates, etc. in our Council (GSK) if you are currently (for this year) registered on MYGS and/or affiliated with a Troop or Service Unit Team as a helper/active Member or Leader.
Call your local PLC to find out how you can help leaders and Members in your area as an active Take Action Girl Scout adult.
Also, at MYGS, go to Activities and find out what FUN events are available for girls and troops all across the Council. Check weekly for more (and updated) info. and check the Unofficial Calendar right here at the blog for a partial list, too. You will also be receiving our Council's weekly newsletter, News You Can Use.
Trainings, Fun, and more Trainings!
Trainings are a perfect way to make new friends (always worth-while), and also keep up to speed with rules, Safety Activity Guidelines, and much more.
After Network Like a Girl Scout, which many new leaders are taking, there are more classes/trainings that will help leaders with all Levels - - it's called Level Training. Check out trainings via your VSS, Service Unit Manager, or Training Calendar on your Leader's Thumb Drive. Weekend trainings are also available, where you can take more than one, and stay for one day or more.
Online trainings are here too:

Important Tip: Make sure to "screen grab" your final page or Certificate for each training, and keep them in a file for yourself. The Trainings Page does not send completions. That's up to you to keep for your records.
Your Service Unit Meeting
Make sure to attend your SU Meetings each month, or send a parent or Troop Committee Member there in case you can't attend, to take notes for you. You'll be glad you did!
If you are in Warren or Edmonson County, (SU 722), our next Service Unit Meeting is
Tuesday, September 5 at the Bob Kirby Branch Library 6-7pm.
Adding: If you have any questions about this meeting, contact our 2017-18 Service Unit Staff Coordinator,
Beth Carroll, at bcarroll@gskentuckiana.org, or call her at her Girl Scout phone numbers, 1-888-771-5170, Ext. 15222 or (270) 842-8023.
