Leader Information

Service Unit

The Cresta Blanca Association is divided into two Service Units, 1 and 2.  Your Service Unit is determined by the school through which your troop registers.  This is simply a way of processing the paperwork necessary.  Troops may be made up of girls from more than one school.

Service Unit Meetings "SUM"

These monthly meetings are open to everyone 14 and older.  Meetings are normally held the 1st Monday of the month (Sept - June). This year meetings will be held at different places each month.  We will post the locations and meeting dates to the Yahoo Group calendar.

SPECIAL MEETINGS:
November: Association meeting
May: Adult Appreciation meeting - location to be determined.
 

Most of the information a troop needs is dispensed at the SUM meetings through paperwork and speakers. Attendance for troop leaders is important. If absolutely no one from a troop can make a meeting, check the troop folder bins on the SUM director's porch a few days after the missed meeting.

Check the Calendar for dates.

 

Girl Scout Events

Anyone interested in hosting an event for our association, or anyone interested in sharing ideas about possible events is asked to contact the Event Coordinator at  cb-event@crestablanca.com 

Association Committee Meetings "ACT"

Association Committee Meetings "ACT" These monthly meetings are held at the Girl Scout cabin at 7:00pm on the third Monday of the month. Check the Calendar for sure. These meetings are conducted to address any and all issues regarding the running and financing of our Girl Scout Association. Please consider joining! A shared task is an easier task. These meetings are open to all members of the association.

ACT Meeting Minutes are available after they have been approved at the following meeting.
