Plan and customize the troop’s calendar year!
Troop leaders can set a high-level overview of their troop's
year including adding custom badge and Journey events and activities.
Additionally, troop leaders can use pre-populated meeting plans for
Daisy, Brownie, and Junior troops that include meeting agendas, supply
lists, and activity instructions.
Online Support for Volunteers
The Volunteer Toolkit is a digital resource that supports troop leaders and co-leaders, making the process of running a troop easier and more efficient.
As a Girl Scout volunteer there are a ton of really great online
resources right at your finger tips! In addition to our Volunteer
Toolkit (more on that below!) we also have a fabulous Volunteer
e-Newsletter and you can also keep up with us on Facebook,
Twitter,
Instagram,
and Pinterest!
We also offer several online training opportunities and resources that you can find here. From Volunteer Essentials to delegate training to co-leader webinars - we've got some great tools to set you up for success.
One of our most powerful online tools is our Volunteer Toolkit! This wonderful planning resource is for our Girl Scout troop co-leaders. The video above demonstrates the power of this tool and how it will help adults and girls make the most of their Girl Scout Experience.
The Volunteer Toolkit will be released in phases. Currently the toolkit can be accessed by most troop volunteers and parents and includes troop communication tools and a parent-view to keep up with troop activities. See feature highlights for volunteers and for parents.
Girls have fun when they can shape their own experiences, do hands-on activities, and work together as teams. With the new toolkit, girls and leaders can explore meeting topics and program activities together, and follow the fun as they plan their Girl Scout year.
