WHAT SETS US APART...THE GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM Have you ever wondered... How Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character?

The answer is as simple as 1-2-3!

Know where you're going before you start. Become familiar with the five outcomes we want girls to achieve through Girl Scouts:

Offer activities from the four Program Pillars.

Develop a strong sense of self:

S.T.E.M.–Science, Technology, Engineering, Math: Activities help girls develop problem-solving skills and confidence to pursue these topics in school.

Girls have confidence in themselves and their ability, and form positive identities.

Outdoor: Develop outdoor skills over time.

Develop positive values:

This can be as simple as meeting outdoors and working toward more adventurous outdoor exploration.

Girls act ethically, honestly, and responsibly, and show concern for others.

Seek Challenges: Girls learn to take appropriate risks, try things even if they might fail, and learn from their mistakes.

Develop healthy relationships: Girls develop and maintain healthy relationships by communicating their feelings directly and resolving conflict constructively.

Learn community problem solving:

Life Skills: Develop key life skills girls can use forever, like financial literacy, first–aid, and more. Badges are great for this! Entrepreneurship: Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product programs to build key entrepreneurial skills girls will use for a lifetime! See the back cover of this guide for more information.

Girls contribute to the world in purposeful and meaningful ways, learn how to identify problems in the community, and create "action plans" to solve them.

TAKE ACTION

Make Your e c Expe�ienn Eve ! BET T ER

EARN AWARDS ENGAGE FAMILIES • Host family-friendly events and a caregiver meeting. • Connect parents to the Volunteer Toolkit, so they can see what girls are doing each meeting.

Events Guide

Make It Happen

✓

A Handy Troop Check List

3 Incorporate these program processes into your activities: Girl Led means girls shape their experience by asking questions, offering ideas, and using their imaginations.

Learning By Doing means girls learn through hands-on activities, talking about what they did, and reflecting on how they would do it differently next time.

Overwhelmed by all the options? Here are some essential things you can do to make your troop year a success.

●

Host an investiture ceremony/parent meeting at the beginning of the year. Let the girls do the planning, and invite the whole family to attend!

●

Start each meeting with the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Ask girls to share examples of how they have used the Promise and Law in their lives since the last meeting.

●

Help the girls decide what they want to do this year in Girl Scouts. What badges, Journeys, and Awards do they want to earn? What events would they like to attend?

●

Participate in the cookie sale to build to your troop budget to achieve the girls’ goals. Don’t forget about the fall sale, too!

● ●

Attend a council-sponsored event to try new things and meet other Girl Scouts.

●

Set a plan to earn at least three to four badges. Some events in this book can help you do this!

● ●

Complete a Girl Scout Journey, including the Take Action project at the end.

●

Recognize girls' accomplishments. Host a bridging event or a court of awards ceremony at the end of the year. Invite the whole family, and let the girls take the lead. 5

Cooperative Learning means girls work together to brainstorm ideas and problem solve their way toward a common goal.

BUILD CONNECTIONS • Attend a Girl Scout event in your local service unit • Attend a council or community partner sponsored event • Engage in virtual Girl Scout meetings or programs • Learn about the history of Girl Scouts • Practice Girl Scout traditions and ceremonies like bridging and court of awards

2 0 2 0 -2 0 2 1

Attend a community-sponsored event to explore your community and connect with experts.

Get girls outdoors! Do an age appropriate outdoor experience or just simply go for a hike in a local park or meet outside. Check out the events in this book to get you started.

SO YOU WANT TO ATTEND AN EVENT? Follow These Planning Tips

1 October MEET WITH YOUR TROOP TO CREATE A PLAN FOR THE YEAR. You don't have to attend all program events as a troop. There are many family and individual events that girls can attend without the entire troop.

USE THE IMPORTANT DATES ON PAGE THREE TO INFORM YOUR PLAN. You can also find out more about special Girl Scout dates, program ideas, and support by following the GSWO Blog at gswoblog.org.

DISCUSS WHICH GIRL SCOUT JOURNEY AND BADGES GIRLS WOULD LIKE TO EARN. Older girls may want to create a longer term plan for awards. Use your Volunteer Toolkit to search options and make plans.

$ EARN BADGES OR JOURNEYS AT EVENTS. Event descriptions will indicate if there is a tie to a badge or Journey and if the badges are included in the cost.

UPDATE FAMILIES ABOUT WHAT THE GIRLS ARE INTERESTED IN. Share a link to this book online, so they can see what’s being offered. Events are a great way for families to get involved, see the benefits of Girl Scouting firsthand, and have an opportunity to lend a helping hand.

CREATE A BUDGET. Girls should plan how to use troop funds for activities. A great way to earn funds is through the Fall Product and Cookie Programs.

GO! CONSULT VOLUNTEER ESSENTIALS. Familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures for troop activities and field trips. Find the guide online at gswo.org.

GET REGISTERED! For council-sponsored events, check out Registration Procedures information and sign up at gswo.org/Activities. For community sponsored events, see the event descriptions for details. Registration closes at least two weeks prior to the event.

ATTEND AND REFLECT. Participate in the program evaluation at the event and share your feedback. Some community partners may not have an evaluation. As a group, reflect on your experience and use that to make decisions about future events.

CLIMBING WALL At all of our climbing walls, stretch and reach for each handhold and feel a sense of accomplishment as you sequence through your route. Wearing a helmet and harness, push yourself to reach new heights and tackle special challenges thrown in for a twist. Experiences may vary from camp to camp depending on the facility. Climbing walls run, weather permitting. Due to height, Camp Butterworth's climbing wall is recommended for Brownies. At Camp Butterworth's bouldering wall, learn spotting techniques and see how far across the wall you can go!

CRATE STACKING

LOW CHALLENGE COURSE

Crate stacking is the ultimate team "building" activity! Work together to stack milk crates higher and higher. Will you be the girl who climbs up, harnessed and belayed by your instructors - to stack the crates handed to you by your teammates? How high will it get before it topples, 10 feet, 15 feet? Don't worry, when it finally falls, you'll be safely lowered to the ground.

Develop teamwork, leadership, and communication skills, while you problem solve with your team to complete the low challenge course. Experience fun and self-growth as you tackle a series of elements designed to challenge your group physically and mentally. Gain confidence, self-esteem, a feeling of accomplishment, and a better understanding of how to work with others.

THE CHANGEMAKER OF

OXFORD

Ella noticed that her com munity lacked public art and had an absenc e of community pride. She felt that a public mural showcasing a piece of Oxford’s history would help change this. She worked with a local artist to bring her idea to life, approached the city for approval, and received 2 grants to fund the mural.

2020 Cover Girl! ELLA COPE Oxford, OH

The mural highlights Oxford’s history as a part of the Undergroun d Railroad, and as the training ground for the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer proj ect. The central design is the blue station wag on belonging to three civil rights activists who were tragically killed in a hate crime in Mississ ippi. Ella dedicated the mur al at Oxford’s Second Friday Art Walk with mor e than 200 attendees and created guides for the Arts Center to continue educating the community about this important piece of Oxford history.

CAMP SERVICE DAYS

CAMP SPOOKYBROOK

GSWO camps have lots of forested back-country areas with many trails in need of some tender loving care. If you and/ or your troop enjoy being outdoors and would like some service hours–this is a great opportunity to give back to a favorite camp! Join us at 10:00 a.m. and stay as long as you’d like. Lunch is provided for all workers and the day wraps up at 3:00 p.m.. This is not heavy-duty trail clearing, but mainly using loppers or hand saws to trim back smaller branches and remove debris from the existing trails. While this work suits Juniors and up best, Brownies are welcome to participant as much as they can! Be prepared to hike a way carrying loppers, saws, water, etc.

Looking for a frightfully good time for all ages? Enjoy stories, games, snacks, a spook hike, swaps and an age appropriate “Haunted Mansion.” Older Girl Scouts will plan and lead the activities supported by adult mentors. This event runs rain or shine and has outdoor components. Please dress appropriately for the weather and for camp. Space is very limited for parking; carpooling is highly suggested. Patch included.

DEFENSIVE TRAINING SOLUTIONS

SELF DEFENSE/PERSONAL SAFETY PLAN/PEPPER SPRAY TRAINING

SHOOTING SPORTS

What is your safety plan? Practical self defense is a tool that every girl should develop for herself. This course provides the knowledge and confidence that will enable girls to 1) avoid conflicts by learning situational awareness, 2) be mentally prepared for encounters and 3) create a personal safety plan which includes age appropriate responses using verbal/physical escape techniques and safety pepper spray. Girls will gain confidence by participating in training drills and becoming familiar with personal safety spray devices. Learn age appropriate options for personal protection and when to use them.

defensivetrainingsolutions.com

Do you love hitting the target? Taking part in shooting sports and learning proper safety procedures and handling techniques can promote positive traits in girls such as patience, determination, focus, attention to detail and persistence. Girls will learn about firearms; developing skills based on proper procedures and form, such as handling the firearm, loading the ammunition, getting the right stance, sighting, and observing safety practices. By using firearms ranging from BB guns to pistols, girls will be learning about hitting the target and how to develop a responsible and safe attitude when using firearms.

Becoming a Boss,

One Cookie at a Time Troop #20653 started saving their cookie proceeds back in 2015 with plans for a trip to Savannah, GA to visit the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low. The girls researched various activities, classes, tours and destinations in the area. They calculated the cost of travel, hotel stays and compared that to their budget. The troop together then made a list of the top 5 must-do adventures to ensure they were making the most out of their money. This past summer, the girls and leaders reaped the benefits of their hard work and experienced a trip of a lifetime participating in various tours, visiting area parks, museums, beaches and enjoying great southern comfort food! Learn More About Our Product Programs at gswo.org/cookies and gswo.org/fallproduct.

PRODUCT PROGRAM ADVENTURES Entrepreneurship Progression

Entrepreneur

Progression allows girls to gain new skills, build their confidence, and develop an entrepreneurial mindset over time. As they engage in the Girl Scout Cookie Program and beyond, girls learn five valuable skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives. As you work with girls, acknowledge their skill development and encourage them to challenge themselves further. Eventually, they’ll be ready to translate their skills into true entrepreneurship or bring an entrepreneurial mindset to whatever path they choose.

n n n n

Goal setting Decision making Money management People skills Business ethics

Decision Maker Money Manager Learn money basics. Talk with your fellow troop members about different forms of money— coins, paper bills, checks, and credit—and practice counting it. Learn how much Girl Scout Cookies cost in your area.

Make plans for the coming Girl Scout year and set a budget. Talk about wants versus needs. Talk about how the troop can earn money through cookie program participation. Look into your troop’s proceeds from previous years to help you budget.

Networker Cookie Techie

Five skills learned from the cookie program: n

Innovator

Consumer Expert Goal Setter Set sales goals as a troop and individually. Talk with troop members about how you can work together to reach your troop’s goal. Discuss different ways to sell cookies and set a goal for which ones you’ll try. Brainstorm how you could use your cookie earnings to help others in your community.

Think “cookie customers.” Talk with troop members about why people may or may not choose to buy Girl Scout Cookies, and brainstorm ways to engage them. Come up with ideas for the perfect customer pitch. Practice explaining how your cookie earnings will be spent. Brainstorm ways to thank your customers.

Use technology to grow the business. Set a specific goal for your digital sales. Make a video for your friends and family network promoting online cookie sales using your sales pitch; encourage the gifting of cookies to boost sales. Use your support network of friends and family to safely promote your digital storefront.

Take it beyond Girl Scout Cookies. On your own or with your troop, think about a product or service you’d like to improve and brainstorm ways to make it happen.

Build your social support system. Connect with local business leaders for ideas about how to grow your Girl Scout Cookie business. Talk to friends and family about how they can help you expand your network. Ask your customers to safely refer you to new customers. Follow up with past customers and tell them how you plan to use this year’s cookie earnings, to inspire them to increase their purchase.

Come up with several ideas, then narrow to the best! Be prepared to go back to the drawing board—maybe more than once! Get feedback from potential consumers and improve your idea based on what they say.

Take your business idea to the next level. Create and document a mission statement and business plan for your product/service idea. Identify your customer base, competition, and potential obstacles. Practice sharing your business idea with your troop. Research how businesses are financed and think about how you could finance yours. Feel confident about your business idea’s potential? Take action!

Research social entrepreneurs in your community and beyond.

How to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset: n Be curious. n Embrace challenge. n Take initiative. n Collaborate with others. n Take creative risks. n See failing as learning. n Adapt to change.

GOLD AWARD

The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the pinnacle of Girl Scout leadership progression. Open to Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors, this prestigious award challenges them to change the world by solving a community problem in an innovative and sustainable way.

HIGHEST AWARDS

SILVER AWARD

The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can achieve and gives girls a chance to work with a small team or as an individual. Girls focus on projects that make lasting change in their communities.

The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards are the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn. Through them, girls impact their communities, challenge themselves, and gain an edge after high school.

BRONZE AWARD

The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn. Girls work together as a group to complete a Take Action project that directly benefits the Girl Scout community, or the girls’ local community or neighborhood.

TH E GO LD ADVAN TAG E The Girl Scout Gold Award not only impacts the community where a girl lives but it also can impact the future of the Girl Scout who earns the award. Gold Award Girl Scouts join an elite group of women. These women have not only gained courage, confidence, and character, but have demonstrated that they can work hard and change their world. Gold Award projects must be sustainable, meaning they will continue impacting the community long after the Girl Scout has completed her 80 hours of work.

These projects help girls develop lasting legacies from a young age. Earning a Gold Award doesn’t just help a girl develop while she’s in Girl Scouts, it helps her get ahead in life. The Gold Award can help girls get college scholarships, stand out during the college application process, and enter the military at least one rank higher than other recruits. Proving once again that Girl Scouts is the best leadership development program for girls.

POLLINATOR GARDEN It was during a summer outreach program with the youth volunteering group Zoo Teens that Victoria connected with the organization Toledo GROWs. As part of her volunteer outreach, she began to work with Toledo GROWs and understand the importance of pollinators to our community.

VICTORIA SWILER Maumee, OH

In partnership with the organization, Victoria worked hard to research local pollinator species and their food sources; with this information, she was able to create a raised garden that provided coverage for all main pollinators through the spring, summer and fall. Victoria held an event filled with educational activities. All of her research has been given to Toledo GROWs to further educate the community about the importance of pollinators. Event Guide

ORIENTEERING - ADVENTURES WITH MAPS

ART IN THE OUTDOORS BADGE WORKSHOP

Explore the woods, hiking, walking, or running to find a series of checkpoints. Following detailed maps, you may follow hiking trails, or visit unique off-trail destinations that few people ever get to see! Every event offers courses of various length and difficulty, with one for every skill level. Juniors do an easy course of about one mile, following marked trails. Cadettes begin to venture off trail, learning to identify features on the map and how to use techniques such as handrails and collecting features to find their way. Older girls do advanced, off-trail navigation, interpreting the detailed terrain and vegetation.

Find your inner artist in the great outdoors at this fun workshop. Go on a hike and observe all the colors, hear music in the sounds of nature, and let it inspire you to get creative. Find out how you can make your own art outdoors and have fun doing it! Daisies and Brownies will earn the Outdoor Art Badge for their age level and will receive badge at completion.
