Neighborhood Chair - Linda Griffin
Black River Valley Neighborhood's regularly scheduled leader meeting is the 2nd Thursday of each month, August-June. The meeting is held in the IHC McCarthy Building at 6:00pm.
The leaders and operational volunteers of the Black River Valley Neighborhood use committees to plan high quality Neighborhood events to supplement troop activities. Events have included:
- Ice Skating
- Crystal Ball Dance
- Lock-Ins
- Various Age Level Activities
There are many active, exciting Girl Scout troops in Black River Valley Neighborhood. However, troops fill fast leaving some girls who want to be Girl Scouts on a waiting list. We are looking for committed, caring adults who can give of their time. 1 hour, 1 month, weekly meetings, biweekly meetings, 1 meeting per month. Whatever fits into your busy schedule fits Girl Scouting. Be leader, a co-leader, an assistant leader, share a craft, share a skill/hobby, or share your administrative or organizational skills. If you can make the commitment to mentor girls to grow to be strong, resourceful citizens than we would like you to be a Girl Scout volunteer.
On March 5th, 2007 girls from troops 7 and 12 from Black River Valley Neighborhood opened the Watertown City Council Meeting with a flag ceremony. Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham then read a proclomation, proclaiming March 11-17 Girl Scout Week in Watertown. Click here to see pictures.
