2008
The Oregon Baton Council will not be offering classes this year for Girl Scouts. Many troops took advantage of the classes in 2005, 2006, and 2007. By taking a year off, we hope that a new group of Girl Scouts, or Scouts wanting to repeat the class at a higher level, will be interested in signing up for our workshops.
INFORMATION FOR 2009
The information below is from 2007. We are keeping the page here so that you can get an idea of what will be available in 2009:
Girl Scouts can learn more about the sport of baton twirling through this introductory class combined with their program age level award. Daisies earn the "Courageous and Strong" Petal, Brownies earn the "Dancersize" Try-It, Juniors earn the "Doing Hobbies" Badge and Girls 11-17 can earn* the "Invitation to the Dance" Interest Project Award.
