How to Use the Program Guide

1. Meet with your troop or Girl Scout to create a plan for the year. As a girl-led organization, it’s important that Girl Scouts are a part of the planning process so they can weigh in on what programs and workshops are important to them. Giving them the opportunity to plan out their year as a troop helps build their teamwork and conflict resolution skills.

2. Discuss which Girl Scout journeys, badges and activities girls would like to earn and take part in. Older girls may want to create a long-term plan as they look to achieve their Highest Awards.

3. Update families about what the girls are interested in. Share a link to this Program Guide so they can see what activities and events are being offered. Events are a great way for families to get involved, see the benefits of Girl Scouting first-hand, and have an opportunity to lend a helping hand.

4. Consult Volunteer Essentials. Familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures for troop activities and field trips.

5. Get registered! Search for an event in gsEvents. Register to reserve your spot!

Council Sponsored Programs/Activities

These events are led by staff, community partners, or volunteers. Leaders or approved adults are required to attend events with their Girl Scouts and are responsible for ensuring the safety and behavior management of the girls. If a girl is attending without a troop, a caregiver must chaperone and be responsible for only their girl at an event. All overnights require official Volunteer status including membership and background check.
