Calling All Early Birds!

Early Bird re-registration starts April 15th and ends June 15th!

It’s that time of the year to re-register your troop for the 2014 membership year through our Early Bird re-registration campaign!   The dates for Early Bird this year are April 15 through June 15, 2013. Fall is hectic enough! Get a jump on 2014 by registering your returning girls and adults this spring.  Early Bird patch bracelets will be offered to all Girl Scout Troops that re-register before June 15th!  This year we’ve increased our renewal incentive program to include the parents! For each troop that re-registers with a minimum of five girls from more than one family and at least two (2) unrelated adults by June 15, 2013,  the members in your troop  will receive  the following incentives:  Troop - $5.00 coupon redeemable at a GS-TOP retail shop; Girls – Early Bird patch bracelet; and Parent – Girl Scout window cling!
