Grade Levels In TroopPlease tell us which grades you will have in your troop in the fall. This is both current girls you have and girls you are willing to accept.

Grade Levels AcceptedPlease let us know which grades you will accepting in the fall. This may be different than the grades you have in your troop. For example, your troop may have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders, but you only want to accept more 1st and 2nd graders. In that case, please indicate which grades you are wanting to take into your troop, and we will only display to girls in those grades. It is important to note that we do not have the ability to recruit by grade. So, if you only want three 1st graders and two 2nd graders, you will tell us you are accepting 5 more girls, but you will have to track your numbers and let us know if you want to shut down displaying to a particular grade.
