Troop Dues - $1 per meeting. Payable per meeting.  Each girl can hand this amount over to her Leader at the beginning of every meeting.  We would like your girls to begin practicing some responsibility.  If you feel otherwise, please let us know and we can make alternate arrangements.
Additional Costs - as applicable.  Additional cost for trips, outing and events will be communicated in advance. 

ASP
You will need to register your daughter(s) for ASP even if they will not be attending.  There is a $25 registration.  If you choose to have your daughter stay at ASP on meeting days, an additional $8 fee is applicable per day.  If your daughter is in ASP and registered for Girl Scouts, they will be called to the meeting.  

Uniforms
Uniforms are an important aspect of the Girl Scout girl.  Our girls will be required to wear basic uniform during our meetings.  Basic uniform is a sash or a vest.  Uniform information can be found here (click appropriate level).  During outings, girls will be required to be in full uniform.

Emails
Please note that every effort is made to make sure everyone who is interested in Girl Scouts.  If you have any friends in the KCSMA community who do not currently receive emails, please have them email us at kcsmagirlscouts@gmail.com and ask to be added to our email list.  Beginning October 1st, only registered individuals will receive e-mails from the troop.  I will be sending out an email to everyone who is on the troop roster currently.  If you do not receive an email but you have registered your daughter, please let us know as soon as possible so we can get it straightened out with council. 

Volunteers
We can always use more volunteers.  Our leaders need assistants and we need parent involvement.  If you are able and willing to help in any way, please start by going to www.gsgatl.org and click on volunteer to get started. You will need to pay the same $12 registration fee and go through additional verification with Girl Scouts.  Please let us know if we can be of assistance.
