June Leader Meeting Notes

Here are a few notes from our June leader meeting:

  • Summer Camp Closure – GSSEF has announced that summer camps have been canceled. They will be issuing refunds to anyone who had registered for one of the summer camp weeks.
  • Ingathering 2021 – Gemini will be holding our 2021 Ingathering on March 26-28, 2021 at Welaka! If your troop has previously registered for Ingathering 2020, we will automatically credit your payment forward toward registration for 2021. If you would prefer a refund, please let us know and we’ll be happy to assist!
  • Product Sales – All the patches, and reward exchanges are in. Please contact Paty to confirm your numbers and schedule a pickup.
    • If you are interested in helping distribute thank-you notes and cookies to thank our business supporters in the community, please let Paty know.
  • Recruitment – online recruitment is happening using the virtual Jump Start programs, which take girls through the experience of a girl scout troop meeting, including earning a badge, with the hope of channeling girls into new troops or filling in existing troop vacancies.
  • Reopening – Things are slowly opening back up. As of today, in-person meetings can begin with limitations: no more than 10 individuals at once, including the adult volunteers. Council will be slowly opening offering events, keep an eye out here or on Facebook for dates!
  • EOY Report – Just a reminder that your troop end-of-year report will be due June 30.
  • Summer Funshine – Summer Funshine is ON for the summer. Check out this month’s Linking Leaders email for more info!
    • Feeding Florida Together and BabyBasics Infant Supply Drive are still happening, if you are looking for a service project over the summer. See this month’s Linking Leaders for info!
  • GSSEF Retail Do-Over Days – GSSEF retail stores are re-opening and are excited to offer “Do-Over Days” – four consecutive Satudays in June to make up for the celebrating we’ve missed.

As always, if you have any questions or need anything, please reach out to your service unit team. We’re here to help and support you all!
