Troop Resources
Troops make friends, build new skills, earn badges and awards, and have fun!
What Troops Do
To have a well-rounded Girl Scout experience, we encourage all troops to:
- Participate in at least 1 Girl Scout tradition at every meeting (like wearing uniforms or doing a flag ceremony),
- Earn 3–5 badges and awards from a variety of skill building areas,
- Attend about 1–3 special events or field trips,
- Participate in the Fall Take Action Program and Cookie Program, to work on Girl Scout Entrepreneurship,
- Complete at least one community service project,
- Hold an end-of-year celebration or bridging event, and
- Experience at least one outdoor activity (like Girl Scout Camp)!
