Scout Events

Kick-off your troop’s year with roller skating at Lynnwood Bowl and Skate.  This is a private skate event for SU 245 scouts and their families. It does not have to be a troop event, though troops are welcome to coordinate attending together, and/or use troop funds to cover the cost of skating. If attending as a troop, adult-to-scout ratios must be met. If attending individually, caregivers must remain on site. (Note: A mixer & the monthly meeting for troop volunteers is held in the bowling alley at the same time.)

Celebrate the birthday of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low who was born on Halloween in 1860.  According to lore, she marked each of her birthdays by doing a headstand! In our service unit, this is one of several events planned and hosted by a different troop each year. In the past, troops have held a tea party, rented a local pool, coordinated games, and hosted a massive sing-along. Typically, the event is geared toward Daisy and Brownie scouts, and the hosting troop is Junior-level or older.

Troops can decorate a trunk to join in this annual outreach event for our community.  Whether silly, clever or (mildly) creepy, hosting a trunk promotes joining Girl Scouts, and gives scouts a chance to practice their skills with the public ahead of cookie season.

A hosting troop determines a list of actions that promote sharing and caring within our community.  Scouts work to complete these actions to earn patches for the back of their uniforms. The older the scout, the more actions need to be completed.  The hosting troop also designs the patch for the year!

Another of the troop-hosted events, our annual giving tree is a drive for a local non-profit organization who serves our community. The hosting troop selects the organization, determines and distributes the gift wishlists to our Service Unit and community, and then delivers the donated gifts to the organization. This is often one of the activities that troops complete to earn their Caring & Sharing patches.

At this troop-hosted event, Daisies, Brownies and scouts who are new to cookie selling can learn more about the cookies, how to give a great sales pitch, and what it takes to set and meet goals. And, yes, they get to sample cookies!

At this event, individual scouts design and build wooden cars that are raced down an inclined track. In the past, we have coordinated with a local middle school tech shop teacher to hold a woodworking workshop ahead of the event.

Did you know that there are over 10 million registered Girl Scouts and Girl Guides globally? Held on a weekend date close to February 22, this Girl Scout tradition promotes global thinking. Troops host information tables so that other scouts can learn about scouting traditions in other countries, girls’ & women’s rights in other parts of the world, and how to take action on issues that impact our collective futures. While one troop plans the overall event, the presenters come from many troops, and scouts of all levels attend.

This troop-hosted ceremony marks the move from one level of scouting to another.  While some troops hold their own bridging ceremonies, our Service Unit event brings troops and family members together to mark this milestone. The hosting troop designs the event, prepares the particulars of the ceremony, and promotes it to the SU community.
