The Oregon Baton Council will again be offering classes this year for Girl Scouts.

 

INFORMATION FOR 2009-2010

Girl Scouts can learn 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. Registered baton twirling coaches, batons and badge related materials will be provided.

Baton coaches of the Oregon Baton Council can schedule baton workshops for Girl Scouts. If your club is interested in a workshop, please email one of the coaches, as explained below. The workshops will follow a standard curriculum to ensure that your Scouts will meet the badge requirements. In your email, please indicate the level of your Scouts (Brownies, etc.) and how many Scouts you have. (to send an email) Coaches will work with you to find a time that fits into both of your schedules. Baton coaches are especially busy during the OBC competition season, February-April.
