Dear Volunteers,
As we head into the 2018 – 2019 Girl Scout Year we can’t thank you, our Girl
Scout volunteers enough for your time, talents and true dedication that you put
into this organization.
This year brings some new updates and changes to our organization. We are in
our first full year of use for our new software system CouncilAlignMENT, a single
source, single entry system that has been designed by this Girl Scout Council
to fulfill the needs of volunteers, parents, and staff who want to better serve
Girl Scouts in our community. This software program speaks the Girl Scout
language and we believe will provide you with a meaningful experience. Features
include Troop Meeting calendars, Outdoor Adventure requests, and the ability to
manage everything on one website instead of many.
We also continue to offer new programming in the areas of STEAM, Outdoors,
Life Skills and entrepreneurship. While continuing to explore partnerships
exclusive to our area like games with the Nashville Soccer Club. We are
highlighting important National events in a friendly manner with programs
like “Election Day the Equine Way”. Our council is proud to offer activities and
events that support the troop programs with travel, journey and badge based
programming.
I’m excited to work with you as we continue to promote the significant
impact of Girl Scout membership, is that girls can do anything — both locally
and nationally. With the advent of a girl’s ability to independently conduct
community service projects and the advent of services and agencies to serve
the interests of girls, there is a great deal of competition to get a girl’s attention.
What’s wonderful about the Girl Scouts is that we are broad enough that we can
meet a girl’s interests and have an established organizational brand to help her
achieve her goals.
