Welcome to

myGSOH Through Girl Scouts, you can do anything! The activities in this guide are designed just for girls like you. You can explore what you’re passionate about, try new things, and test yourself. Use these tips and tricks to help you plan for a year of unleashing your inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™.

Look through the guide on your own, selecting the program activities that interest you. You don’t have to attend all program events with your troop. Many of the events are perfect for you to attend on your own! Highlight, circle, or sticky note the activities you are interested in and share them with your parents/caregivers.

Create a budget for the year that matches your troop’s plan. Check out gsoh.org/cookies for more information about the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Be a #cookieboss and use the money you earn to pay for all that you do in Girl Scouting: from fun program activities to camp to paying for your annual membership.

Register for fun program activities! Create your plan for the year on your own and with your troop. You can also find out more about special Girl Scout dates, program ideas, and receive additional support by following us on social media:

/GirlScoutsOH

Discuss which Girl Scout Journeys and badges you and your troop are interested in earning.

For council sponsored events, check out page 5 for registration procedures. For community sponsored events, see the event description for details. Register quickly to reserve your spot!

Attend the activities you and your troop register for and debrief afterward. As a troop or on your own, reflect on your experience and use your observations to make decisions about future events. Share your photos with us on social media – we love seeing you and your friends participating in fun adventures!

If you are a Girl Scout in grade four or above, you may want to create a longer-term plan to help you earn higher awards. Use the Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting to help you make decisions.

Look for program activities that compliment your troop’s plan. Most activities in this guide will help complete steps toward earning a badge or award.

These are the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. In the process, she changes the world forever.

Service vs. Action: What’s the Difference?

Girl Scouts often do community service, and Take Action within their projects. Both kinds of projects help communities in different ways. What’s the difference?

Direct and immediate service changes something right now. Longer-lasting action gets at the root cause of issues. Take Action projects, like you complete for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards, address the root cause of an issue and come up with sustainable, longer-lasting solutions. These projects make your community a better place for more people for a much longer time. Sometimes, service and action just naturally blend together into one sustainable effort. As a Girl Scout, you use both service and action to live out the Girl Scout Law and change the world!
