Measuring Troop Progress
As the year progresses, you will be looking at the troops as a whole and also at each girl in the troop as an individual. Observing how the troop functions and grows as a group and how each member functions and grows on her own will provide you with invaluable insight to help you work more effectively with the girls.
The four Program Goals are a useful way to assess your troop's progress. Make a copy
of the chart that follows-which lists behavior and actions that relate to each Program
Goal-and keep them in mind while you are working with your troop.
