How to Use the Guide

Cancellation Policy

Activities Are For Every Girl!

Looking to venture into the great outdoors, or committed to serving your community? Hoping to travel, explore science, technology, and engineering, or hone your entrepreneurial instincts? Girl Scouts has it all covered, providing you with well-rounded programming that delivers the essential Girl Scout experience. So start planning your year— who knows what adventures are on the horizon? Registered Girl Scouts can participate in any age-appropriate activity the council offers; on their own, with a group of friends, or as part of a troop.

For Parents Sit down and take a look at all the descriptions of the experiences. Find the ones that are most exciting to you and talk with your troop, troop leader, and parent/guardian about new adventures and skills you’d like to explore.

For Girls Council-led programs are a fantastic resource to deepen the experiences of girls over the course of your Girl Scout year. There are plenty of badge- and Journey-based adventures, as well as programs related to service and having fun with a purpose. Share it with your group of girls to find out what their interests are for the year, and settle on a few outings that complement your troop goals. Are they excited about more experiences than you can cover in just your regular troop meetings? Check in with parents to see if the troop can support the added experiences. Don't forget to keep an eye out for trainings and workshops throughout the year!

For Troop Leaders and Other Volunteers

Throughout the year we introduce new programs as opportunities arise, so stay up-to-date with the online program calendar and watch for program details via email and social media. Stay Tuned In the event of a cancellation, the adult listed on registration will receive a phone call and/or an email. Cancellations will also be listed on GSFun.org. Only those registered for an event will be notified of any changes or cancellations. Refunds/rescheduling are available only when council staff cancels a program.

The Symbols of Girl Scouts

Girl Scout Traditions Dating back to the founding of Girl Scouts, the uniform helped girls build sisterhood and community. We still have some of the same patches and awards as used at our founding, like Troop Crests and Brownie Wings!

Community Service Community service doesn’t just transform her community—it transforms her Girl Scout spirit. These awards commemorate the way she’s changed the world around her, from local efforts to national action.

Badges, Journeys, and Awards At the heart of your troop experience, these awards show all the things you’ve learned and accomplished in Girl Scouts. Badges for skill development and exploring interests, Journeys for leadership growth and problem solving, and finally our prestigious higher awards (Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards) for big ideas and bigger effort.

The uniform is an essential element of the Girl Scout experience, and a beautiful record of her time in Girl Scouts. From the Daisy smock to the Ambassador sash or vest, girls get to wear their accomplishments with pride and let their strengths shine.

Product Program These awards focus on setting goals, decisionmaking, money management, and people skills—everything a young entrepreneur needs. These awards don’t just show off her business acumen—they’re proof that she can help fund her own Girl Scout experience. Be sure to check out our Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin!

Special Events Special events might not have an official badge, but they’re a vital part of what makes her Girl Scout experience great! The back of her uniform is fully dedicated to keeping these memories alive, and it’ll be covered in fun patches and participation patches from her adventures before you know it. 800.785.2090

Outdoor Adventure Girl Scouts are outdoor women, so it makes sense that so many of our badges help you get outside! It’ll be a cinch to earn badges like the Trail Adventure and Hiker badges, advance to badges like Trailblazing or Night Owl, and achieve awards like the Counselorin-Training and Program Aide pins.

Girls looking for their Gold Award proposal to be approved can join us for the second half of our meeting to present their Gold Award proposal plan. Girls should plan to submit their proposals two weeks before the committee meeting date. Once the Gold Award proposal is submitted to council, girls will be invited to present their proposal.

The Silver and Gold Award Committee is an adult volunteer committee that helps girls successfully complete their Silver and Gold Award. The Committee meets once a month for this two part meeting. The Idea Share is hosted first, with the Gold Award Proposal Presentations happening after. Girls who have an idea for their Silver or Gold Award but hesitating to submit proposals can join us for the Idea Share portion of the meeting. During our Idea Share, girls will have the opportunity to talk with committee members about project idea(s), ask questions, and receive feedback. Girls may connect with the committee solo or join with other girls working towards the same Silver Award project (up to four girls total). This is a great chance for girls to speak to committee members about their project idea before submitting their proposals.
