so will result in a $100 fine.

equipment to GSEM.
We understand the main season of the SeaPerch program runs January-April 2021.
We understand that the season may be extended through to June 2021, for the SeaPerch
Nationals if our team advances to that level.
We agree that GSEM will provide team t-shirts with appropriate sponsor logos for up to ten girls
and two coaches.
We agree to provide a secure location for team equipment to be stored until it is returned to
GSEM.
We agree to keep equipment clean and in good condition for the duration of the program and to
use it only in the manner in which it is intended for this program.
We agree to pay $100 for our team to participate in the Girl Scout SeaPerch Program. Our team can
participate in approved money earning activities, such as the Girl Scout Cookie Program and Fall Product
Program, to help raise funds for the team. Activity scholarships are available based on need.
We agree to maintain at least 2 team members on our team.
We understand that our team is required to participate in the St. Louis Regional SeaPerch
