Resource Centers

Do you need an idea for a special Troop event? Looking for resource materials for loan such as leather stamps, hula skirts or a parachute? Are you having trouble coming up with activities to help you teach teambuilding, or to boost self-esteem or cooperation? Has girl planning got you stumped and frustrated? Your Volunteer Resource Centers are here to help you locate the resources you need to spice up your troop activities. If you have a need that you don’t see listed, please call and ask for help –that’s why we’re here.

What kind of help is available?

• Meeting / Activity Space
  Troops may use space free of charge in either volunteer resource center on weekdays for regular troop meetings (2 hour limit), if space is available. In return for this privilege, you must leave the meeting space and bathrooms clean and perform 2 service projects each year for the site. Meeting space reservations may be made for the upcoming school year beginning each July. Special events and Overnights require the normal fee. A Troop Meeting Space Agreement form must be completed and approved by the building reservations staff person to reserve meeting space in either resource center. To reserve meeting space in Newark please call the number for the Newark Resource Center on our "Contact Us" page. In Salisbury, contact Jackie Duncan at 410-742-5107 or jduncan@cbgsc.org.
  

• Ideas & Research
  We can help you locate ideas, program outlines, information, specialized supplies, etc. Give us a call to make an appointment to come by the Newark center for hands-on help.
