If it's difficult to get girl scout parents together to hold meetings, consider the option of facilitating an online meeting. Hosting an online meeting is painless. You can literally have your girl scout parent meeting up and running in a matter of minutes. If you have a telephone and an internet connection, you can hold meetings directly from your desktop. There are no up-front costs to worry about. A meeting service, is exactly that, a service. The simplicity of web meetings allows you to focus on the content of your girl scout meeting rather than the technical side of "how do I set this up".

The convenience of holding your girl scout meeting online will allow you to tackle project deadlines and keep resources on track and up-to-date. Of course, not only do parents meet, but Troop Leaders do as well. Once you have the service you can use it for any type of meeting you need to hold. Normally Troop Leaders choose to meet weekly, every other week or monthly, at a time that is convenient. Many girl scout meetings occur in schools, churches, civic centers, or businesses. Adding another alternative to meet, such as web conferencing online, could be especially useful when uncontrollable factors, such as weather, illness, or traffic backlogs come into play.

Some companies offer this "service" via a software download, and others, such as WebEx, host the service.  Either method is easy to use. More information about online meetings can be found here along with free trial offers.
