FALL 2020 & SPRING 2021 PROGRAM & TRAINING GUIDE

Programs and Events for Girls and Volunteer Trainings GSK Activities

GSK Program & Training Guide and Online Activities Calendar This guide is filled with fun and challenging activities designed to help girls earn badges, meet other Girl Scouts, and try new things while being immersed in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. These activities are offered by our program team, community partners, area associations, service units, and other troops. Volunteers can gain knowledge at training events planned throughout the council and online. The Online Activities calendar is your online source for the most up to date information when looking for trainings or something to do as a troop, with a friend, or as a family. Check it often for updates!

Volunteer Expert Call to Action—We Need You! Would you consider yourself a subject matter expert on a specific topic? Do you have a talent or hobby you want to share? We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to share their knowledge, skills, and experiences at troop meetings, events, and more! One of the best ways for girls to learn about new ideas is to hear it straight from someone who really knows their stuff. Many Girl Scout badges, journeys, and patch activities include a “talk to an expert” component, so they can explore their world in a safe, smart, and reliable way. We love to have you as a partner, working closely with the program team to share your experience.

We also know that troops and service units are doing great things! Are you planning an awesome girl-led event? Do you want more people to hear about your opportunities? Troop, service unit, and area events aligned with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience can often be included on the Online Activities Calendar. To share your event, please submit an Activity Submission Form which can be found on our website in the Resources Tab.

Community Connections Girl-led means that girls of every age take an active and age-appropriate role in figuring out the what, where, when, why, and how of what they do. Use the Community Connections list to find partners willing to work with troops to arrange programs and events around the schedule of the girls. The Community Connections list can be found at gskentuckiana.org/activities.

GSK S’mores List Looking for S’more fun? The S’mores List is a great place to find more unique opportunities and benefits of Girl Scout membership. This list includes activities that aren't necessarily part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, but still offer lots of fun and discounts for girls and their families. You can also list your own activities here. Check the S’mores List often for new offerings at gskentuckiana.org/activities.

Family Engagement Everyone wants the girls in your troop to have fun, be inspired, take risks, and learn about themselves and the world, including their families. Families can be involved beyond membership in many ways. Look for the green boxes outlining events open to girls and their families.
