Volunteers needed!
We need volunteers from each troop for the Sweetheart Dance. There are 13 spots left to fill. To make it easier to coordinate, we're using VolunteerSpot and you can access by clicking on this link. http://vols.pt/um399Z
If your troop has less than 10 girls, we need 1 adult volunteer from your troop. If you have 10 or more girls, we need 2 adult volunteers. If your daughter is in a troop in high school, the girls can volunteer if they'd like. If someone from your troop is Chairing a Committee for the Dance, you don't need an additional volunteer.
