Girls Troop 4125

Scouts BSA Troop 4125 is for girls aged 11-17 who are interested in leadership development, want to learn practical skills, enjoy the outdoors, and want to create memories that will last a lifetime. Our troop meets every Tuesday at 6:45pm during the school year in the Fellowship Hall of St. Peter’s United Methodist Church.

Planning for the new troop began over the summer of 2018 by conducting meetings, identifying adult leadership, and holding recruiting events for prospective members.  The adult leadership is a mixture of male and female leaders with several leaders being experienced leaders from the boys troop.  Parents are strongly encouraged to join adult leadership and will be provided training through mentoring as well as the BSA online training program.  

The girls scouting program follows the Scouts BSA program that has been in place for over a hundred years.  Patience will be exercised with the girls as they are new to scouting, but they will be held to the BSA standard of excellence.  The girls troop is scout-led meaning they are responsible for the decisions of the troop under the guidance and support of the adult leaders.

Scouts are encouraged to work on advancement by fulfilling certain rank requirements.  Each rank has varied requirements from areas such as practical skills, first aid, outdoor skills, physical fitness, citizenship, etc.  Certain ranks require completion of advanced skills such as serving in leadership and performing service.  In the process, the scouts learn to become more independent, and, over time, they learn to teach and lead others eventually holding positions of responsibility within the troop.

The troop has an outdoor program leading with a camping trip once a month.  As the troop gains members and gains experience, the program will grow in variety and offerings. 

Wellington Scouts, Inc., is very excited to host one of the first troops for girls in the western communities.  To learn more about Troop 4125, please join us for one of our troop meetings every Tuesday at 6:45pm during the school year at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, or you may send a message from our Contact Us page.
