Your troop must show as an active troop, which means there must be two co-leaders minimum and some girls renewed for 2018-19. For all troops who respond by July 9, the designated troop contact will receive a mailer during the week of August 6 to include program materials and the requested number of girl packets. Troops that do not complete the reservation form by July 9 will have a troop contact randomly selected – either the designated Troop Treats & Keeps Chair or one of the designated DPs (Co-Leaders).

Form can be found here: https://www.girlscoutsatl.org/content/dam/girlscouts-girlscoutsatl/documents/Troop-Finance-Report.pdf 4. There is something for everyone!
