Information about Troop 7000Girls can join our troop at 11, and can travel with us at 14.

Trips are planned 2-4 years out so there is plenty of time to fundraise for the trip of your

choice.

We have 2 hour monthly meetings, with no meetings in the summer, and no meeting in

February during cookie booth season. One hour of the meeting is topical, geared toward

the upcoming trip(s), and the other hour is working on fundraising.

Most girls will fundraise for one particular trip, but are welcome to travel on as many as

they would like.

Anyone who can be a registered Girl Scout can travel with us.

Dues are $20 per girl and $10 per adult traveler per year, which helps offset the cost of

handouts, occasional food, troop patches, and supplies for the meetings.

Adults must be registered Girl Scouts to participate in the meetings, fundraisers and

trips. Adults who travel with us also have to have a background check done.

Girls/adults can fundraise as much or as little of the trip cost as they would like. The rest

comes out of pocket.
