Volunteer Meetings (you're invited!)
2nd Wednesdays of the month 7-8pm
Volunteer Monthly Meetings are open to all volunteers and troop leaders to connect with other volunteers, network, pick up patches/awards/prizes, get support and bring back ideas to help with your troop.
We share information about upcoming events and new information from GSNorCal and GSUSA. All troops should send at least one person to each Volunteer Meeting to listen to these vital and useful updates and ask any questions they may have.
We meet at Foster City Parks & Rec or above the Library.

Why are Volunteer Meetings important?
Why are Volunteer Meetings important?
Our Volunteer Meeting is so much more than just monthly leader meetings and updates! Connecting with your Service Unit regularly has tons of amazing benefits, like:
1. Find out about upcoming events and activities.
Do your girls hope to attend the Mother-Daughter Tea, ice skating, camp with other troops? You can get all the information about upcoming events/activities in your area and be able to ask any questions you have in person—no need to research all the info on your own!
2. Learn from leaders who have “been there and done that.”
There is a wealth of Girl Scout knowledge in the room when you attend a Service Unit Meeting. There are volunteers leading older girl troops who have been through it all and can give you suggestions and advice about all things Girl Scout, from rules and requirements to expert pointers on what to expect in just about every situation.
3. Connect with older girl troops who can help you.
Are you a Daisy troop just getting started and would love help with a Journey? Are you a Brownie troop hoping to go camping soon and would like help with a Camping Badge? You can talk with troop leaders who may be looking for ways their older girl troops can “give back.”
4. Connect with younger girl troops you can help.
Maybe you are a Cadette troop needing to find a Brownie troop so you can earn your LiA (Leader in Action) Award or maybe you are a troop needing to fulfill PA (Program Aide) requirements. The SU meeting is an easy place to connect with leaders from younger troops that would love to let you help them.
5. Get suggestions about best practices.
Having problems with troop parents? Wondering how to manage tough situations within your troop? Is Cookie Season wearing you down? Go to the meeting, explain your situation, and just listen as the suggestions and advice roll in!
6. Hear first-hand about Council/GSUSA specific information.
Your Service Unit team is your connection to the bigger Girl Scout world. They get information from GSNorCal that they then share with you—information about the Cookie Program, new requirements for trainings, promotions that are happening council wide, etc.
7. You will make new friends.
Girl Scouts isn’t just for girls! Getting to know the volunteers in your SU will make you feel connected to something special. Think of it as your own Adult Girl Scout troop! Many lifelong friendships can develop that transcend the boundaries of Girl Scouts just because you take the time to engage with your Service Unit.
So, what are you waiting for? Join us on the second Wednesday of the month to learn more! Make it worth your while. You’ll be glad you did, and your troop will be happy knowing that you have everything you need to make their Girl Scout experience the best that it can be.
