Join Hanawalt Girl Scouts
We are looking to start a brand new troop for the Kindergarten-3rd graders at Hanawalt. To get things started, we need another adult volunteer to serve as co leader to make the troop can happen! We have one parent on board so we are looking for another to get things started. Co leaders would be in charge of planning troop logistics, activities, and managing the troop bank account. Girl Scouts has endless resources to make being a Troop Co Leader a great, rewarding experience! If you are interested in being a co leader or have any questions, please reach out to Karly Cook at Girl Scouts her email is kcook@gsiowa.org. Once we find a co leader, we will be sharing more troop details and start getting girls signed up-make sure to be on the lookout for that information coming soon! Thanks!
Our September plant fundraiser brought in $600 for events, field trips, and more! Don’t forget to order from Dinner Dispatch at dinner-dispatch.com with Hanawalt in the notes in October to support the school!
