Leadership

Troop 182G was formed March 17, 2021. As a "Girls-Led Troop," it is the policy of Troop 182G that the programs and activities will be planned and carried out by the girls, with supervision by the adult leadership. This is the only way the scouts will learn leadership skills and to deal with the consequences of their decisions and actions. The success of their scouting experience depends largely on the effort and commitment they put into the various activities, and on the girl leaders they elect.
