Troop Management Who has rights to the “My Troops” menu? Girl Scout volunteers who have successfully completed the volunteer intake process and have been approved by Council to become a troop leader (active “01” position code) are given access to their troops online by clicking on the “My Troops” menu. There is no limit to the number of approved active “01”’s that a troop can have. What can troop leaders do from “My Troops”? Some of the things that leaders can do from troop management are: Confirm all members of the troop have Girl Scout memberships for the current membership year. Determine which members of the troop have Girl Scout memberships for the upcoming membership year. Update troop meeting information any time under “Troop Meeting Information.” The system will prompt you to do this the first time you log in after someone has registered for the current and next membership year–you must complete at least the grade level in order to move forward. Keep member information up-to-date. Girls’ school and school grade cannot be updated outside of membership registration. If this needs to be updated please contact the council helpdesk. Email troop members and print membership cards. Register troop members for Council activities. See all activity registrations associated with troop members under “Troop Events” and all orders that have been placed by the troop under “Troop Order History.” How does a troop leader register troop members for activities? 1.

On the “My Troops” tab a troop leader will see links for “Troop Events” and “Troop Order History.” The Troop Order History page lists orders placed by the troop leader for members of her troop. Troop leaders will see that a registrant is on the waitlist from the Troop Order History page and on the Troop Events page. If capacity opens and the registrant is then placed in the meeting and the “waitlist” status will disappear from both pages. The Troop Events page lists all troop members’ activities, regardless of who completed the registration. Cancelled registrations will not show on your Troop Events page but will show on the Troop Order History page if the registration was completed by the troop leader.
