Girl Scout Basics Supporting Your Girl Through COVID-19 No matter where you are, every girl can have more fun learning, doing, and growing while they achieve their dreams. Here’s how you can support your girl:  









If your girl’s troop is meeting in person in a safe way following local health and safety guidelines, and you’re comfortable too, go for it! If you have a special skill you can share with your girl’s troop-maybe you’re a pro at using Zoom-offer to be the tech host of a meeting that is facilitated by the leaders. If your girl isn’t in a troop or her troop is not meeting right now, consider joining our virtual troop meetings or a virtual club so your girl can connect to others, make new friends, and try new things. Check out GSWISE or GSUSA’s Girl Scouts at Home webpages for loads of activities, nationwide virtual events, patch programs, badges, and more that you can do from home with your girl. No experience is necessary for the activities your girl chooses—at Girl Scouts, both girls and adults learn together by trying new things, and discovering new skills and interests along the way. While your girl may need your support or guidance, your girl should always feel empowered to take the lead. She can bravely test new skills that will give her the independence, confidence, and resilience that will help her shine today and into the future. Know you’re not alone, we are all going through this together. Reach out to your Girl Scout network or council if you need additional support or have questions. We are here to help!

Girl Scouts at Home Want to make nachos outside, figure out why the moon seems to change shape, or learn first aid that could help in an emergency? Girl Scouts at Home will take your girl anywhere she wants to go. Visit both the GSWISE and GSUSA Girl Scouts at Home websites for a complete list of opportunities.  

Power Her Girl Scout Activities with the Nut and Cookie Programs Girl Scouts turn their passion into action. Your girl will build her planning, teamwork, and entrepreneurial skills when she participates in the Girl Scout Fall Product and Cookie Programs. Proceeds from her sales help her achieve her dreams-going on a trip she’ll never forget, participating in a STEM activity that opens her mind, leading a service project that changes her community, and building a lifetime of memories with friends at camp. And now, everything can be done online-including payments-so these programs are easier than ever to participate in. See page 20 for information on the Fall Product Program.

Let Her Be a Force of Nature She’s already the best version of herself. Sometimes she just needs the view from the top of a mountain, a swim in a lake, or a night camping under a sky full of stars to see it for herself. Whether your girl tries archery, swimming, boating, cooking over a fire, or doing arts n’ crafts, she’ll have fun, build new friendships, and challenge herself in the outdoors. Did you know?  According to the Girl Scout Research Institute, girls unleash their potential to become environmental stewards and enhance their socioemotional and leadership skills, positive values, a sense of self, challenge seeking skills, and healthy relationships-all while attending Girl Scout Camp.  Beyond their camp experience, alumni noted that they were more appreciative of diversity, able to persevere, and have a willingness to try new things. At day camp your camper will:  Take safe risks in an all-girl environment  Be introduced to the overnight experience  Begin leadership immersion through the Program Aide and CIT programs At overnight camp your camper can:  Gain independence as she explores personal interests  Engage in high adventure programming such as sailing, white water rafting, off-site base camping trips, and on-site rock climbing  Immerse in leadership development programming through the CIT I and CIT II programs If your girl can dream it, GSWISE can help her do it. As you begin planning your Girl Scout’s year, ensure camping, outdoor themed events, and Summer Camp are part of your plans. New this year, girls can register for Summer Camp 2022 starting November 1! Camping experiences make great holiday gifts! The benefits of camp and outdoor experiences are endless! Learn about all camp opportunities at gswise.org>Camp.

How to Register for Events Adventures for Every Girl Your girl is ready to press “play” on her dreams. And GSWISE is ready to help make her dreams a reality. There are adventures for every girl to discover what she’s passionate about, learn new things, and be her best self today and into the future. •

Events are offered in person or virtually.

Events are a great way to start or complete requirements for an earned award.

Events are facilitated by staff, volunteers, and/or girls (under supervision), and community partners.

All GSWISE-sponsored events are fun, interactive, educational, held to the highest safety standards, and developed to meet the needs of all girls.

Some events require that chaperones register for the event and accompany girls during the event. These events are indicated with the chaperone CH symbol.

Some events are appropriate for the whole family, including siblings. Look for the family F symbol.

Registration Details •

Overnight event registration closes two weeks before the event. Day events close either one week or two days before the event. Registration deadlines are listed in the event details for each event at gswise.org>MYGS>Find Events. All events are subject to change. Refer to gswise.org>MYGS>Find Events for details.

How to Register •

Registration opens October 1 at noon for events beginning October-January. September events are already open for registration. • Go to gswise.org>MYGS>Find Events. Questions? Contact Customer Care at 800-565-4475 or customercare@gswise.org.

COVID-19 Safety at In-Person Events Event Financial Assistance All girls can pursue their ambitions. Financial assistance is available to help girl members participate in Girl Scout events. Financial assistance can be considered for one event per season (fall, spring, summer) per girl. To request event financial assistance, select the Financial Assistance box during online registration. A Financial Assistance Form will be emailed to the family to complete and submit. Financial assistance is funded by proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program and gifts to Girl Scouting.

Program Activity Credits (PACs) Girls earn PACs by participating in the Girl Scout Fall Product and Cookie Programs. Credits can be used to pay for all or partial event fees. To redeem PACs, select “Program Credits” as your payment method during online registration. A PAC Form will be emailed to the family to complete and submit.

Please know we are taking necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff and event volunteers while participating in in-person council events, including: • Masks will be required indoors. • Temperatures will be taken during event check-in. • Event capacities will be reduced as needed to observe 6’ distancing guidelines. • Unless necessary, girls will not share program supplies, if sharing is necessary, supplies/equipment will be sanitized between uses. • Wipes and sanitizer are available in every room. • We have established enhanced cleaning/disinfecting guidelines. • Registrants who feel ill on the day of the event should stay home, we can make exceptions and provide refunds. • Due to the ever-evolving COVID-19 guidelines, registrants impacted by event changes or cancellations will be contacted. Current detailed safety guidelines for in-person events will be outlined in your confirmation.

Join us at the Milwaukee County Zoo on Sunday, September 19 for our Welcome Back to Girl Scouts event. More information on page 19. Get your tickets now! 4

How to Register for Events Adult Volunteers/Chaperones

Confirmations and Recognitions Event confirmation details are available at gswise.org>MYGS>My Events>Upcoming Events two weeks prior to the event. Share the event confirmation with everyone registered from your group. When applicable, earned awards will be provided at events. Related awards are available for purchase at your local Resource Center. Awards for virtual events will be available for pickup at your local Resource Center, or opt for the award to be mailed ($1 fee) by contacting us at 800-565-4475 or customercare@gswise.org.

Program Aides (PA)

PA

Adult volunteers are responsible for obtaining permission slips and for meeting adult-to-girl ratios for the event. All attending adults are expected to assist the girl(s) as needed and to ensure appropriate girl behavior.

Event Cancellations Policy

Girls in grades 6-12 can strengthen their leadership skills, channel their confidence, and work directly with younger girls as a Program Aide! They can assist at events and lead activities to turn their goals into reality. •

Adults chaperoning girls other than their daughter are required to be registered with Girl Scouts of the USA as an adult member. Safety is our number one priority. We can ensure the safety of all Girl Scouts and Girl Scout volunteers only when adults become registered members and complete the required background check.

How PAs register: •

Go to gswise.org>MYGS>Find Events.

Find events that interest you where you are at least two years older than the event participants.

Find the event name with “PA” in front of it and use that link to complete your registration. PAs do not pay a registration fee.

Cancellations are available when requested more than 2 weeks ahead of an event. A $5 cancellation processing fee will be incurred for each registrant. Refunds are not available when cancelling within two weeks of the event. If you would like to change the event or date, please register and pay for the new session and contact us at 800-565-4475 or customercare@gswise.org to process a cancellation. If the event is cancelled by the council, full refunds will be issued. Refunds should be received within two weeks from when the cancellation was processed.

Attend PA Core Training. Training is not required, but is very helpful. Find PA trainings at gswise.org>MYGS>Find Events.

Introducing Rallyhood! We are excited to introduce Rallyhood, a communications and collaboration digital platform that integrates the many functions we need to communicate, collaborate, share files, organize events, collect money, and build a strong, connected Girl Scouts community! Rallyhood has worked with Girl Scout families, volunteers, and Council staff around the country for years and has designed specific functionality for Girl Scouts to help us create a more consistent way to stay organized and engaged online. Contact a member of our Membership Support Team for questions about how to get started using Rallyhood. Tips and tools for how to use Rallyhood can also be found on gsLearn and at gswise.org.

Your Dreams Are Our Dreams When you stick with Girl Scouts, you’re not just getting something to do—you’re getting someone to be. The bravest, boldest, best version of yourself. The version of yourself that walks with your head a bit higher and acts with confidence. And as you grow, we’ll grow with you. We are here with your family to support:

Your Dreams Right now, Girl Scouts are learning about robots, hiking, dancing, painting murals, feeding the hungry, and even writing laws to change the world. If you can dream it, we’ll help you do it.

Your Growth Girl Scouts focus on their potential rather than perfection. You’ll try new things, knowing you’ll be accepted by your sister Girl Scouts for exactly who you are today and who you can be tomorrow.

Your Success Girl Scouts are all about collaboration, not competition. Meeting goals and celebrating wins as a team doesn’t just feel great, it teaches you to work well with others, which will take you far in life.

Highest Awards See page 13 for an icon and location key

Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards

Girl Scout Gold Award Approval Process

J C S A

S A

The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards represent the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. These awards celebrate the dreamers and doers who are making their communities a better place, and are proof that not only can girls make a difference, but that they already have. Whether you want to focus on health and wellness, animals, STEM, public safety, education, the environment, or any other issue, you’ll inspire others and learn more about yourself. As you earn one of Girl Scouting’s highest awards, you’ll change your corner of the world—and maybe even beyond.

Girls going for the Gold must receive council approval at two occasions, first prior to starting the project and second after project completion. Girls will correspond with a representative from the Highest Awards Mentor Committee for these project approvals. • To obtain first project approval, girls must submit their Proposal in GoGold at least three weeks prior to the tentative start date of the project. • To obtain second project approval, girls must submit their Final Report in GoGold after project completion (final deadline is September 30 of the same year they graduate High School). Upon submission of the Proposal or Final Report, the council will connect the Girl Scout with a representative from the Highest Awards Mentor Committee. Girls will correspond with the committee member to gain council approval though email, text messages, phone calls, video calls, and/or in-person meetings. If girls wish to connect with the Highest Awards Mentor Committee prior to submitting a Project Proposal, simply contact Customer Care at 800-565-4475 or customercare@gswise.org to be connected earlier in the process. Related award: Girl Scout Gold Award
