Interpersonal Relationships

Conflict resolution Promoting “Sisterliness”

Sensitive Issues

Before exploring or engaging in discussion of sensitive or contemporary issues a parent permission form must be filled in and signed.

So…is your troop girl led?

• Girls take part in every step of the planning process

• Adults begin letting go of as many responsibilities as possible

• All of the adults on the team plan with the girls, not for them

• Focus on building skills
