Frontier Girls Fall Kickoff on Thursday 9 Sep 2023 Chelsea: Frontier Girls Troop 569 is a scouting program for girls serving the local areas of Chelsea, Grass Lake, Stockbridge and surrounding communities that was founded locally in 2021. Girls and parents interested in joining or getting more info are welcome to attend Troop 569’s fall kickoff meeting on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 9:30 am at the American Legion Post 31, 1700 Ridge Rd, Chelsea on the shore of beautiful Cavanaugh Lake. There will be information for girls interested in joining as well as some Constitution-oriented activities and dutch oven macaroni and cheese for a snack! Frontier Girls is a flexible scouting program for girls of all ages preschool through high school that promotes patriotism, outdoors, life skills, community service, and character, developing women of honor to be the mothers and leaders of the future. The program is affordable and deliberately flexible for busy families, home schoolers, families that have siblings in Boy Scouts, and girls that are actively engaged in extra- curricular activities. Most achievements can be done outside of formal meetings and many accomplishments in school, church, or other activities count towards badge and award requirements. Since the Troop’s inception in 2021, the Frontier Girls journeyed on nature hikes and geocaching outings at Howell Nature Center and Pinckney State Recreation Area, sent care boxes to Ukrainian refugees and caring letters to senior citizens, volunteered at the Bountiful Harvest Food Pantry and American Legion, learned about the Constitution and American flag etiquette, learned about American industrial history at Greenfield Village, started to learn archery, and completed several other badges, awards, and activities together as well as individually. The Troop is excited to kick off its 3rd school year! Due to the chartering relationship with American Legion Post 31 and trends in youth development needs, Troop 569 emphasizes the Liberty, Outdoors, and Servant’s Heart awards in its planning beyond the minimum baseline curriculum for a troop. If you have any questions about Frontier Girls Troop 569, or if you are unable to attend the kickoff meeting on the 9th but would still like to find out more, leave a voice mail with the Troop Leader, Becca Burkhead, at 734-274-2590.
