CO-Leader
The first
position that is recommended that you should fill is
that of a CO-leader. Safety Wise requires each troop to
have a CO-leader in addition to the leader. She not only
supports you but she brings different ideas to the
planning of the troop. It's always nice to have
backup. |
Cookie Mom/Cookie Chair
A very
important position is that of the Cookie Mom or Cookie
Chair. The cookie campaign is the biggest fundraiser
that Girl Scouts do. It is with the money raised from
selling cookies that troops get their funds to go on
activities and trips that make lasting memories. It also
teaches the girls skills such as goal setting, finances,
planning and teamwork. Your Cookie Mom will handle the
cookie orders, cookie pickups, collection of the
paperwork, signup and working at cookie booths,
depositing the funds and completing the final paperwork.
It's a big job and one that would be a good idea to
delegate to a parent or parents. Some troops have two
Cookie Moms or a Cookie Chair and a Cookie Booth Chair
or some have their CO leader double as the Cookie Chair.
Again it is your decision on how you want your committee
set up.

Fall Product Chair
Girl Scouts
also do another fundraiser called the Fall Product Sale
- QSP and the Nut Program. If you have enough parents in
your troop it might be a good idea to have a Fall
Product Chair. While the fall product campaign is not as
big as cookies it is still very time consuming.

Treasurer
A
Treasurer would keep track of all the dues,
registrations, deposits, maintain the troop checking
account and turn in the finance reports. Some leaders
prefer to take care of all their troop finances other
want someone else to do it all. The choice is up to the
leader. |
Other Positions
Other
committee position ideas might be a Camping Mom, Crafts
Chair, Transportation Chair, Events Coordinator,
Telephone Person, GIFTs for Girls Chair, Awards Ceremony
Hostess, Troop Shopper, Record Keeper, Troop Sitter (for
those leaders who have other children that need to be
watched during meetings) and/or Program Specialists to
help with troop badgework. You can also make up a
position depending upon what help you need for your
troop. |
