Placement Request Information

In an effort to make it easier to find programs specifically tailored for your girls, programs are listed by program age level, then alphabetically.

Who Can Participate in an Event or Program?

When you meet with your Troop, use Possibilities as a tool to help plan your year.

Find programs that match a girl’s age level and indicate what activities are of interest to her.

Registered Girl Scouts can attend events with their Troop, or on their own, unless indicated otherwise.

Your Troop should develop a budget, incorporating dues, family partnership rebates, and goals for rebates earned in the Mags&Munchies and Cookie Programs.

Please read the complete event description and registration instructions carefully at gsnc.org, as not all events are registered through Wufoo.

What Do These Icons Mean? You will find these symbols throughout the program guide to determine the Girl Scout grade levels and who can participate in a program.

Programs Financial Literacy By planning and participating in money-earning projects, girls build real-world skills that benefit their Troop, councils, communities, and most importantly, themselves. Healthy Living The Healthy Living Initiatives bring a unique perspective to keeping girls healthy as girls define health in their own terms, placing as much emphasis on emotional and social well-being as physical health, nutrition and physical fitness. In addition to healthy eating and physical fitness, the Healthy Living Initiatives focus on increasing girls’ self-esteem and developing healthy relationships. These programs provide girls with the courage, confidence, and character to not only make the world a better place, but their own lives more healthful and balanced. Learn and Earn Learn and Earn programs are open to all girls, regardless of whether or not they are earning the badge or the journey award specified. Program information booklets include the steps completed at the event and may detail a take home project to be completed by girls either individually or as a group. Badges and Awards may be purchased at the GSNC Shop. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Girl Scouts introduces girls of every age to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) experiences relevant to everyday life. Whether they are discovering how a car’s engine runs, how to manage finances, building and programming robots or exploring careers in STEM fields, girls are fastforwarding into the future.

The Volunteer Toolkit now offers multi-level Troop access—and coming in summer 2017 is all-new program content for STEM and Outdoors, plus Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden!

Fully customizable, the Volunteer Toolkit is digitally responsive so you can plan and prepare practically anywhere.

What volunteers are saying: “I like that there are meeting plans and schedules to follow. I also like being able to keep track of the patches my girls earn. The ‘my Troop’ feature that allows me to email all of the parents at once is great, too—I use that a lot.”

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER TOOLKIT? JUST SIGN IN AT GSNC.ORG, CLICK MY GS AND CHECK IT OUT!
