I am only one, But still I am one.
I cannot do everything, But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do The something that I can do.

¨ Troop 1152 will meet the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Thursday of each month unless otherwise listed on the calendar.

¨ A calendar will be updated on line weekly. A newsletter will also emailed to you prior to every meeting (or printed out for you at he meeting).

¨ Troop Dues are $2 per meeting (Sept -June) to cover our meeting activities, Snack, first aid Kit and the cost of the Try-Its they earn. There may be programs or events we choose to attend that will cost additional $$.

¨ You can pay dues by the meeting($2), month($6) or by the year $54.  Cash or Checks made out to Troop 1152 should be placed in an envelope with your daughters name on the front PLEASE!!!.

¨ Dues are paid even if you miss a meeting. We count on every girl being at each meeting when we buy supplies etc.   Girls will be able to makeup  some missed meetings to earn requirements.

¨ We will be covering requirements for the Try-Its at EVERY Meeting. If your daughter misses a meeting, she can “makeup” most activities at home. It will be up to the Brownie (and her parents) to ask the leaders for the materials and requirements missed.  

¨ Our Meetings will start promptly at 5:30pm and run until 7:00pm. ALL Girls are expected to stay until the end of each meeting to help clean up the activities and room.

¨ Parents MUST meet their child INSIDE the building - DOWNSTAIRS and must be sure to check with one of the leaders before leaving with your child.
Text Box: Adult Volunteers Girl Scouts of Rhode Island requires that any parent that will work with the girls (including us leaders) ...have a Background checks. Girl Scouts will provide the form and pay for this service as long as the adult is registered with girl scouts. What does this mean? Well if you plan on helping with our troop, or even helping to drive to an event...you need to be registered and have you check done OR You can provide a copy that you may have had done within the last 30 days and we can submit that along with your registration… We will be having 2-3 Camping overnights and a few other adventures that you may want to help with… So PLEASE ASK for the registration form and BCI form as soon as possible so you will be ALL SET come November…

Why We're in Girl Scouting


We're not involved in Girl Scouting for the easy hours, high pay, parent gratitude,

power or prestige.
We're involved because we want the world for girls - a world they can share and shape;

a world of  love and laughter where they can show compassion.
We want them to see beauty in the stars, a sunrise, a sunset, those different

from themselves, and themselves.
We want to help them learn to finish anything they start and do it well and

guide them to know their worth through their own understanding.
We want to help shape women who have strength of character and

who are sensitive to the needs of others.
We want them to be the best they can be, whether as career women or as homemakers -

or both, whether as wives, singles, mothers, or friends.
In giving of ourselves and our time, we reap rewards far beyond what we can give.

We receive a better world.
We are involved in Girl Scouting because we care.
