Program Support – Your Volunteer
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.
So what kind of help is
available?
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 contact Taunja Limberry at 302-456-7150 or
tlimberry@cbgsc.org In

community service. Zink the Zebra was created by an 11 year old Girl
Scout fighting cancer, Kelly Weil. This program grew out of a commitment
to see that Kelly’s insights on being a child with cancer yielded
benefits to other children through important lessons on acceptance,
respect and understanding for others who are” different.” Warm friendly
stuffed beanie zebras are a tangible reminder of the program.
