Mt. Sinai Girl Scouts Troop #524

Purpose: Girl scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.

The Mt. Sinai Girl Scouts troops main objects is to be an assistance to their internal community (the church body) and the external community.  Our troop is open to the community as well. Currently, 40 percent of the girls are from the community.

The various levels of girl scouts are as followed:
                        Daisy’s   Kindergarten and 1st grade
                        Brownies 2nd to 4th grade
                        Juniors     5th to 7th
                        Cadettes 8th grade
                        Seniors   9th – 10th
                        Ambassador’s 11th – 12th grades
                        Volunteers   

However, if the girls have not mastered all of the skills in one level they are not bridge up to the next level. We are always looking for volunteers to assist with the troops.

The following are a list of annual activities for the Girl Scouts to be placed on the website.

Annual Events:

Princess Dance – Father Daughter Dance (January)
