Techalongs In Action

The Techalongs cordially invite all Girl Scouts to attend their competitions to cheer them on.  Matches start about 10 am at any event.  Come for the whole event, or just drop in for an hour or so.  Each qualifier starts with check in and inspections followed by preliminaries that determine who will compete in the finals.  Awards generally start about 4.

 Service Team Positions 2026-2027

Are you passionate about spreading the word about Girl Scouts? What about planning fun and amazing events for girls? Well, we’ve got just the jobs for you…

Maybe you’ve never considered becoming a volunteer on the service unit team. Please consider your talents and whether or not you can help us fill some vacancies on the service team roster for the 2026- 2027 year.  

You should also consider ALL of the roles to be open, as in, we are happy to have you assist with any job that fits your particular skill set. Do NOT count yourself out if you are a first-year leader this year. I am unlikely to approach you in your first year to expand your duties but if you feel you are up to the task, please volunteer!

If you have an active parent volunteer (registered) in your troop who you think would be an asset to the team, please feel free to forward this to them as well.
