Dear Troop Leader,
We are excited to invite your 6th–12th grade Girl Scout troop to join the Frederick Older Girls and Advisors group, also known as FROG. This group is made up of Girl Scouts and adults from across Frederick County who come together monthly to plan events, activities, trips, and service projects.
We understand that transitioning into the Cadette level can be overwhelming as girls begin taking on more responsibility. FROG exists to support leaders through that process by sharing the load and building a strong community. Each troop is asked to host one event within their first two years of joining, and you’ll have guidance and support from experienced members to help make that a success.
Participation is flexible—girls can attend events individually, even if their troop isn’t participating as a whole. However, we highly encourage both adults and girls to attend monthly meetings to stay informed about upcoming events and deadlines.
Meeting Details:
When: 3rd Wednesday of each month
Time: 7:00–8:30 PM
Where: Trinity United Methodist Church
Note: Our first meeting of the year will be delayed by one week due to school starting August 20.
We use a private Rallyhood group exclusively for communication and event sign-ups. Once your application is processed, you’ll receive an invitation to join our Rallyhood group.
Special Offer:
The first 20 troops to sign up this year will receive free membership (a $10 annual value). Every little bit helps!
