Girl Scouts at NRUMC
Meetings are held in Fellowship Hall facilities.
Emphasis
is placed on community service, helping and encouraging
each girl to develop to her fullest potential, and to be an
active and concerned citizen in her community. Through
badge work and projects, girls learn camping and outdoor skills
and develop leadership skills. They make good friends an have
fun too!Examples of activities include learning about: careers,
financial responsibility, consumerism, local government and
heritage, ecology, natural resources, wildlife, environmental
issues, art appreciation, and taking care of themselves.
In addition to individual troop activities (both during and
outside of regular meeting times), there are opportunities for
Girl Scouts to interact with other troops in area-wide and Council-wide
events. Following are some of the events that were scheduled
in the past.
- Junior Camporee
- Leader/Daughter Hayride/Cookout
- Cookie Sale Kick-off and Skating Party
- Career Day
- Father/Daughter Dance
- Leader/Daughter Appreciation Tea
- Progression Ceremony

Who can be a Girl Scout?
Any girl who is 5 through 17 years old or in kindergarten through
the twelfth grade can become a Girl Scout in the United States.
Girls of all races, cultures, and religious groups are welcome
in Girl Scouting. Every Girl Scout is expected to make the Girl
Scout Promise and to try to live by the Girl Scout Law. Come
Join Us! If you want to know more about the Girl Scout program,
see your local Girl Scout council at http://www.nccoastalpines.org.
There you will find people
who can help you join and tell you about exciting local activities
and facilities, like camps and activity centers. The telephone
number for Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council is (919) 782-3021.Each
member pays a yearly membership fee. Councils have financial
assistance available for girls who need help to defray the costs.
Each troop or group raises its own funds for the activities
it plans. That is what the Girl Scout cookie sale is all about!
It is a great way to learn to be an entrepreneur and to learn
team-building skills.Each member proudly wears the Girl Scout
membership pin. Many girls choose to wear a Girl Scout uniform
to meetings and special occasions. But uniforms are not required.
Wearing the uniform often leads to some wonderful encounters,
especially if you are traveling alone in airports or appearing
in public. Juliette Low understood how special words and signs
help girls feel they are members of a group. Girl Scouts and
Girl Guides all around the world share special signs, a handshake,
the friendship squeeze, a motto, and a slogan. These special
signs overcome barriers of language and culture.The five age
levels in Girl Scouting are:
- Daisy Girl Scouts - ages 5-6 or grades K,1
- Brownie Girl Scouts - ages 6, 7, 8 or grades 1, 2, 3
