Welcome to Troop #64!!!

I wanted to welcome you all to Troop #64.  I look forward to being a leader this year.  I started this blog so parents have access to troop information at all times.  I will post updates, meeting times, and upcoming events.  

For those of you who don't know me I will do a short bio. I am Andrea Hulsman. I live in Jasper with my husband, Jason and my three children, Jackson, Harrison and Lillian. I am the Youth Director/ Youth Minister at Trinity UCC in Jasper.  I am currently coaching two soccer teams and a member of the Jasper Youth Soccer Board. I enjoy traveling, reading, running and spending time with my family.  I participated in Girl Scouts for 12 years.  I was blessed with the best Girl Scout leader in the entire world, Nancy Habig.  She taught me so much through the years and I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't been in Girl Scouts and her as my leader.  We did so much as a troop, this is a list of just some of my experiences as a Girl Scout;

-leadership skills

-making lifetime friends

-camping

-canoing/water sports

-setting and achieving goals

-helping others in need

-seeing shows on broadway

-paging at the state capital

-two week trip to Colorado

-18 day trip to Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain.

There are literally to many things to list. Because of my fun experiences, I couldn't wait until I could be a part of it again. That is why I volunteered to be the leader of this troop.  I am so excited to have so many girls sign up and want to be a part of it too.  I want all the parents to keep in mind that I can't do it all on my own.  I will need help with activities to ensure all the girls enjoy their Daisy experience.  I have had one parent step forward to possibly be an assistant leader.  Some of the other parents have listed on their info forms that they would be interested in helping.  If anyone is interested in volunteering, I need for them to contact me.  There are forms that need to be completed in order for anyone to volunteer.  A background check is done by the council to ensure that all volunteers are safe to work with our children.  Please consider doing this and contacting me.

Our first meeting will be on September 26th at 6:00 PM. Meetings will be held at the building next to St. Mary's church where registration took place.and where the preschool classes are held.  We will meet in one of the classrooms.   I will get the schedule for the entire year posted soon.

I look forward to meeting all the girls and having a fun-filled year!

Andrea

I will not be posting any pictures of the girls on this blog.  I will never identify any of the girls on this blog.
