9. As a parent, you play an important role in the success of your daughter's Girl Scout experience. She will need your support and encouragement of her activities, as well as your cooperation with her troop leaders. Making Girl Scouting a part of your family's plans will send a positive message to your daughter that she is respected and cherished. 

   10 Ways YOU can help!

   • REGISTER as an "03" troop committee member to show your support for the troop. This is a perfect role for parents.
   • ATTEND one or two field trips and help with the transportation.
   • BUY groceries for camp outings or agree to bring a meeting snack once a year. Talk the other parents into doing the same.
   • OFFER to do the troop phone calls, copy or translate materials. Any skills you have can help the troop!
   • HELP with a cookie booth sale.
   • BE a parent helper at one or two meetings a year. You can help provide activities, serve as a consultant on Try-Its or badges, or volunteer to be a program resource for the troop and broaden the girl's experience with your expertise.
   • ATTEND all parent meetings.
   • HELP by being the cookie parent (a job many dads enjoy!), treasurer, or take the council's outdoor training and be the camp-certified person for your daughter's troop.
   • TALK to your troop leader and let her know you're willing to help and find out how you can contribute to the troop (for example, offer special skills you may have such as first-aider or lifeguard).
   • JUST DO IT. Join the troop leadership team! Take an hour a week and get involved. You'll become a part of your daughter's life and will enjoy watching her grow as a leader, as a member of the team, and as a girl. Sure, the girl comes first in Girl Scouting, but as the adult members can attest, there's a lot of fun in it for grown ups, too!
