Troop 6000 Troop 6000 was created to serve homeless girls in the Nashville/Davidson County area. Through a variety of essential community partnership girls who are identified as homeless or living in unstable housing may join Troop 6000 and receive an authentic Girl Scout experience including participating in weekly meetings facilitated by trained troop leaders, engaging in program activities, earning Girl Scout badges and patches, enjoying Girl Scout traditions and ceremonies, and even having fun at selling Girl Scout cookies. In addtion to the traditional troop activities, Troop 6000 also follows a specific curriculum that is sensitive to and addresses their particular needs, especially with regard to ACEs- adverse childhood experiences. Three troops are currently meeting weekly and two other "homeless" areas have been identified and troops will be started in these locations so that all girls who want to be a Girl Scout, can become a Girl Scout.
