I would love to learn how to be a leader and start a troop for our somis girls. I would love to do a mixed troop and i know the superintedent would back me up and i am sure let me use one of the empty class rooms at the school to do it at the school.I am the treasure of the PFO for Somis. school. I work with most of the girls and many parents there already and love doing things and doing fundraising. I have 3 girls of my own and would love to know how I can be involved and be a leader Please contact me at kimmyharris8@gmail.com.

This sounds just like what I do Rebecca! But I have 44 girls k-12th. I have 4 co-leaders and 2 asst leaders who work with the levels. Each group plans their own meeting activities and meet in separate rooms at the church where we meet. We are all together for 15 minutes at the end for closing/reminders/announcements. I am still the ‘head leader’ but I do not plan for all the levels, I still do plan all ‘whole troop’ events, activities, and camps. Best of luck and I hope more people are willing to have the same leader mentor like we do to help them take their baby steps.
