Service unit meetings are held monthly and offer team members, troop
leadership, and other adult volunteers that attend the meetings an
opportunity to learn, network, receive council updates, and hear about
upcoming events. SU meetings also provide an opportunity to receive
feedback from the community as well as to recognize adults for their
accomplishments and contributions.
It is recommended that each troop send a representative to each
service unit meeting. The same person does not have to attend all
meetings. Troop representatives can be troop leaders, troop helpers,
or parents. The troop representative(s) will learn about service unit
and council news, events, and trainings, and gain ideas. They should
then communicate that information back to the troop.
A typical service unit meeting will include:
- Welcome/introductions (sign in, pick up agenda/fliers)
- Opening (e.g. flag ceremony, Girl Scout Promise and Law, welcome
and introduce new leaders)
- Girl guest speakers
- Council news (e.g. upcoming workshops, support staff updates,
etc.)
- Training (Use the staff request portal above if you’d
like someone from council to lead a training.)
- Upcoming SU
Events (e.g. encampment, Daisy Day; Include date, location,
facilitating troop.)
- Closing and thank you (Take a moment
to recognize leaders and community partners.)
