myGSOH We’ve made it easy for you to find programs in your favorite category by adding icons to each program description. Get ready to start exploring and pick your favorite activities!

Life Skills  Arts & Humanities  Health & Wellness  Advocacy & Engagement Through our Life Skills programs, girls develop a strong sense of self and their potential, they discover the importance of staying active and making healthy choices, and become more confident leaders who want to make the world a better place. By giving them different perspectives and opportunities to make a difference, we inspire girls to give back and share the good!

Entrepreneur

 The Fall Product Program and Girl Scout Cookie Program are two ways for girls to earn while they learn and run their own business. They develop important life skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine.

Outdoor Education

 Experiencing the outdoors is a great way to develop an appreciation for nature, build skills, and see the Earth as our home. Whether girls hike a mountain, camp under the stars, or learn how to ride horses, our programs give them the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in new and adventurous ways!

G. go-getter

Go-Getters are bold, honest, and determined to succeed. In their mind, failure is no reason not to get back up and try again, and again, and again. That explains why half of all U.S. businesswomen were Girl scouts.

If you want to explore more go-getter stories, try one of these books:

Susan Laughs

Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew by Carolyn Keene Eight-year-old Nancy Drew and her two best friends, George and Bess, uncover clues and solve mysteries in this modern series.

El Deafo

by Cece Bell Cece lost her hearing at a young age and wears a bulky hearing aid strapped to her chest. She’s able to harness the power of her Phonic Ear to find the friend she’s always wanted.

The Girl Who Threw Butterflies by Mick Cochrane Molly decides to join the baseball team—the boys’ baseball team. Over the course of the season, Molly figures out how to redefine the things she loves, loved, and might love.

I Am Princess X

by Cherie Priesnt Years ago, Libby and May created Princess X together. Then Libby disappeared, taking Princess X with her. Sometime later, May catches a glimpse of Princess X in a window. Is Libby back?

Code Name Verity

by Elizabeth Wein Oct. 11, 1943, a British spy plane crashed in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot and passenger are both women and the best of friends. One of the girls has a chance at survival. The other has lost the game before it’s barely begun.

Hacks

Creatively solve problems to use your time and resources wisely.

DIY MATTRESS PAD

If you have a little extra space in your duffel bag or backpack, bring along a rectangular inflatable pool float. Slip it under your sleeping bag for a DIY mattress pad.

first-aid kits

Use a water-resistant backpack for first aid items instead of a box or bag. It’s sturdy and allows for hands-free carrying. Get a red one so it’s always easy to find. In a group? Have everyone take a turn carrying it as a reminder of how important it is to have one.

Spring/Summer 2018

Frisbees

A frisbee, yes a frisbee, is a great multi-purpose tool! Use one to make friends at camp with a quick game or flip it over for a reusable plate.

JUG LIGHT

Create a little extra light using a transparent water bottle or jug. Put a headlamp around your water bottle and flip the light inward. Tada! Soft, ambient light.

SHOWER CAP SHOE COVER

Summer rain have your boots all muddy? A shower cap is the perfect size to fit both shoes in and keep them from dirtying the inside of your tent.

Sit-upons

An old Girl Scout tradition, sit-upons are used to stay dry and clean when sitting outdoors. Try a traditional one or make one to carry your gear using a five-gallon bucket. Pad the top of the lid with a pillow or stuffing and cover with waterproof material, like a shower curtain or tablecloth. You can attach the seat with hot glue or store it in the bucket until you need it.

Sponge Ice Pack

Wet a sponge, place it in a small zip-top bag and freeze it. You can use it to keep your lunch cold or as an ice pack. Chemical-free and reusable.

What is a CIT?

What is a VIT?

What is an APL?

A Counselor-in-Training (CIT) is a high school girl who mentors younger girls in a camp setting. CIT1 and CIT2 awards are earned by participating in a resident camp leadership training program.

A Volunteer-in-Training (VIT) is a girl in grades 10-12 who mentors girls outside of the camp experience. To earn the VIT award, you must attend a council VIT training course and implement a thoughtful program that lasts four or more sessions with the same girls.

An Advance Program Leader is a day camp assistant who develops and leads specialty areas based on her specific skills and interests. APLs have progressed through several summers of day camp Program Aide training.
