Events, Trainings, Facebook Pages, the Trainer Retreat, more.
FYI: Get connected!
Here is how.
Most areas have a Facebook page. You will need to be OK'd for these. Some are for only Member-Volunteers, others are for only Volunteers. Some may be out of the Council. you must be OK'd first to these groups. Other Service Units may have their own pages this year too, so ask your Service Unit Manager about that if you do not know where your page is, or whether there is one. They can be very handy for building communication and also for learning about fun events and trainings. Any area can make one.

Trainer Retreat Day Meeting was on September 26th
This meeting took place on Saturday in Louisville at their PLC. We learned a lot! Our Staff people are reorganizing for better communication, and better links on the website too. We organized some trainings in order for streamlining them for later too. We learned more about navigation on the website too. The Staff is also adding more things to the website all the time. We also shared some ideas for new trainings.
Archery News
There is a lot of good news in our Council about our Archery programs. We have MANY people now able to teach Archery in the council, both to troop and for events. People are now working on having even more fun Archery trainings and/or events in the future for people really interested in this.

Autumn Adventure Weekend
This is a great training weekend, and a good time to meet other GS adults and just chat. Register now!
It's just two weeks out til Autumn Adventure Weekend. See attached. This weekend is focused on adult training and has a wide array of classes from which to select. You can attend just one. You can pop in and out of camp as you need to. You can go out and stay overnight. Whatever works!
It in necessary to print the attached piece, complete the registration form and send it via US MAIL to the Girl Scout office -- or hand deliver it, if that works better for you. There is no on-line or electronic option.
For those of you who are new, Camp Shantituck, the location of this
event, is located in northern Bullitt County just east of the Brooks
Exit. #121. Many people who decide to stay are housed in one of the
camp's buildings with restrooms, showers, etc. Mattresses to put on the
floor are available.
The weekend is a huge volunteer-driven effort with minimal staff support. Classes that don't get adequate numbers can/will be canceled, so don't wait to make your plans and send in your registration. Hope to see you there!
