Leadership and Teamwork

Frontier Girls troops or Quest Clubs through Curiosity Untamed provide a great opportunity for kids to work together as a team as well as to learn to take on leadership responsibilities.  In addition to badges and awards involving teamwork and leadership skills, all members in grades 3 and up have the opportunity to serve in leadership positions within their group.  These members are “essential pieces” of the group and are represented by a puzzle piece pin.   Positions are held for anywhere from 6 months  to 1 year, giving each member enough time to learn and become proficient at the job, but switching often enough that all members should get a chance to serve within 2-3 years.  Those members who need to hold a leadership position in order to complete a gem award should be given priority.

Leadership Positions

Leader in Training

The Leader in Training in responsible for making sure meetings start on time. They should have a watch at every meeting and give quiet reminders to the Leader when it is time to start, have snack, etc. She is also responsible for keeping the members occupied with songs or games if there is a lull in the meeting and the Leader is busy. Your leader in training should be trained in both the scribe and treasurer positions so that she can fill in if necessary. Finally, the Leader in Training is responsible for calling all patrol leaders with any important updates or information between meetings.

Scribe

The Scribe is responsible for taking notes at all meetings when business is discussed.  She is also responsible for logging in all badges and service stars earned.  An adult should always oversee this position to make sure it is done correctly.

Snack Coordinator
