Safety-Wise

Troop 698 is planning and

arrying out a group

money-earning event

within Girl Scouts. Girl

Scouts will

be charged a flat rate to reserve the

park for Girl Scouts

and their Families - which will

be deposited into Troop

698's authorized group

treasury. Troop 698 will increase

the cost

approximately $10.00 per ticket

(increase amount is

based on the fact that the

participation rate fulfils

the minimum occupancy

requirement) in order to

cover entry to the park

for all participants and any

admin costs related

to the distribution of flyers,

registration forms,

production of event badges,

maintenance of

website, long distance

communication, any

other unforeseen expense,

and/or actual

implementation on the day of the

event. Any

remaining funds, still in our group

treasury,

related to this event will be used to

purchase

food, after polling different resources, in

order to be more efficient in pin-pointing more

specific needs

and distribute it throughout the State

of California as a

means of battling hunger. Based

on the fact that Girl

Scouts are encouraged to bring

their families, this may be

a way to show other girls

the positive power and "sisterly"

bond the Girl

Scouts of America represent. Another

benefit will

be that food will be distributed throughout the

different California Girl Scout Council areas, hitting

wider demographic in the battle against hunger.

Troop

698 has made plans to utilize an outside

resource for

delivering the food to the different

areas.

"The project could be done in or outside of
Girl Scouting and must reflect some aspect of
community service. If the project is done
within Girl Scouting, you must reach out to
the community in some way--for example, by
calling on people outside Girl Scouts as
resources, doing something that reaches girls
who aren't Girl Scouts, or affecting something
that is used by people other than Girl Scouts."
