Union Sports Arena Welcomes

Girl Scouts of Washington Rock Inc.

Attn: Leaders, Consultants and Community Managers:

Please find attached information about programs from Union Sports Arena, designed exclusively for the Girl Scouts of Washington Rock Council and Union County.

Three program packages are now in place for Girl Scouts:

• A Fundraiser or Reduced Rate Community Skate program
• A combined Meeting and Skating package inviting all Scout troops to “Have your next meeting in the Coolest place in Union County”. Good any time of the year. This includes reduced rates and the exclusive use of our Girl Scout room or one of our private party rooms for your meeting, FREE of charge, along with a skating session, helpful staff and skate rentals.
• The Arctic Challenge Overnight package. This program is designed for girls 9 and older.

Yes, you read correctly, we have dedicated the use of our second largest private party room to Girl Scouts as an alternative meeting place. Realizing the shortage of meeting places in Union County, Union Sports Arena offers troops a place to meet in addition to multiple venues for team building and exercise. Along with skating, we will be offering the use of our soon-to-be-completed indoor soccer field. Our Girl Scout Room has already been used for End of Year Parties, Holiday meetings, Get out of the School / House meetings and is currently booked for a once a month meeting for one Brownie Troop that really likes to skate. All we ask is that you clean up after yourselves. “A Girl Scout leaves a place cleaner than when she arrived.”

Union Sports Arena now has enough skates, staff and completed facilities to run large-scale programs such as Community Skating Events. We do ask that you offer the event to a variety of ages within your communities, as we do not have enough skates for 300 Daisy and 1st Grade Brownies at one time. Some larger Communities may wish to run events by school or district. There is plenty of space for all skaters on our fully enclosed, NHL-sized ice rink and we own over 300 pairs of brand-new skates. We also offer Soft-Tec skates by Jackson for our younger skaters with small, sensitive feet.

Never skated? All of our staff are skilled skaters, many of which are on Hockey or Figure Skating teams. They have all been trained and have experience in teaching basic skills classes. They are here to serve you and aid you on the ice. We are dedicated to providing a safe, clean and friendly atmosphere for all to have fun.

Have A Great Year in Girl Scouting,

Marcia Anderson, U.S.A. Program Director
