PROGRAM GUIDE EVENTS ARE FOR EVERY GIRL SCOUT!

No matter how you participate in Girl Scouts or what your interests are, Girl Scout Program Guide events are for you!

If you are in a Girl Scout troop, you can participate in events together with your troop or on your own as an individual. Program Guide events can be a great compliment to Girl Scout troop meetings and badge activities, or a fun way for girls to explore their own interests in addition to the cooperative learning they do with their troop.

If you are a Girl Scout Juliette—an individually registered member in grades K-12—Program Guide events are a great way to explore Girl Scout badges and connect with other Girl Scouts. In fact, you can do all of the same things girls in troops do—from badges and events, to camp, Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs, travel, highest awards and more! Have questions? Contact us at [email protected] for support!

Did you know? When you see the term “patrol” in this guide, it’s referring to a travel patrol—a group of girls who function like a troop for the duration of a GSOSW-sponsored travel opportunity, including during the planning stages. Girls in troops and Girl Scout Juliettes can apply for travel patrol opportunities! Learn more at girlscoutsosw.org/travel.
