GIRL SCOUT ORGANIZATION

NATIONAL: The Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) is located in New York, and is administered by a national staff of professional Girl Scouters. Local Girl Scout Councils direct activities in cities and communities.

COUNCIL: The Girl Scout program for the Santa Clara Valley is administered by Girl Scouts of Santa Clara County. The Council is divided into 20 geographic Service Units to provide better support to the large number of Scouts in the area.

SERVICE UNIT: Our Service Unit is known as Service Unit 38 and covers Campbell and the Cambrian and Willow Glen areas of San Jose. There are over 30 Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior Girl Scout troops in our Service Unit. Throughout each year, the Service Unit sponsors activities, ranging from Christmas In The Park tree decorating, Sweetheart Dance, Thinking Day International Market, Sweetheart Dance, and more. Service Unit events are an opportunity for the girls in a troop to see and work with girls from other schools or from their own neighborhoods.

TROOP: The troop is the basic unit for Scouting activities. It is composed of girls who usually, but not always, go to the same school. We are “Troop 167.” The size of troops and frequency of troop meeting times are dependent upon the Troop Leaders and the involvement of parents.

PATROLS: We will be utilizing patrol groups this year. This is a form of government used in Junior Girl Scouting. Patrols give girls leadership experience, and provide a convenient way to divide up the scouts into smaller groups.
