Welcome Back all,
I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and staying safe. As we approach the beginning of another school year, we are also beginning our new scouting year. Please see the 2021-22 meeting schedule below. As of right now we are planning to meet in person for most if not all meetings. Changes to that may happen if the city or the Archdiocese updates their health guidelines in response to the ever evolving pandemic. Weather permitting, our first meeting will be on Wednesday Sept. 22nd at 6:00 PM at Welles Park. Subsequent meetings will also be outdoors until it gets too cold then we will take it back inside the Voss Center or Zoom if necessary.

Registration
Please ensure that you get your girls registered for this new year and that the registration is updated with the troop number. For those of you who are new to the troop, the Troop # 25787. Registrations can be updated through the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana website:
https://www.girlscoutsgcnwi.org/en/about-girl-scouts/join.html
As in previous years we are asking for a $25.00 fee for dues which goes directly to the troop fund. This is to help subsidize the cost of supplies and badges we will need throughout the year. This can be paid by check, cash, or electronic payment. If sending by check or cash please put them in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and reason for payment.
Troop Blog
We do have a troop blog that we use for all our communications so please make sure you are signed up to follow it.
https://cadettetroop25787.com/
Please familiarize yourself with the different pages of the blog. The about page will have an updated list of scheduled meetings as well as the in person uniform requirements. All of my contact information will be on the contact page.
Cookie Prizes
The cookie prizes are finally in! Due to Covid related backups and shipment issues the prizes were delayed in arriving but have as of last week. I was planning to pass them out along with the badges and patches earned at our first meeting on the 15th. If anyone has chosen not to return for the new year or if your child would like her prizes sooner please let me know so we can make alternate arrangements. I would be happy to drop them off in the next week or so.
I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and getting to know new ones. Please feel free to share this information with anyone interested in joining our troop. If your child has decided to no longer participate in scouts or has bridged to a new troop and you wish to no longer continue receiving blog posts, please let me know and I will remove you from our distribution list.
