Virtual Programming

Let’s get virtual, Girl Scouts!
Even though your girl’s daily routine may have changed, there are many ways she can still participate in Girl Scout activities and earn awards, even at home!

For girls looking for a fun way to grow their skills from the safety and comfort of home, GSMW is here for you! Join us for badge workshops, Journeys, STEM events, crafts, and more through our secure online Girl Scouts virtual platforms. Many of our events include a kit in the mail, complete with everything you need to participate. No need to go searching or shopping.

Girls can participate independently or with a troop – all at their own pace and in their own space. From your living room, girls can connect, interact, and collaborate with girls from all over Montana and Wyoming and sometimes girls from across the country!

Suffrage Centennial Patch
On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was officially ratified, giving women the right to vote in all elections. Before this groundbreaking amendment, women couldn’t vote in national elections, and in some states, women were also banned from voting in local elections.

Now, a century later, women’s right to vote and advocate for positive change remains a reason to celebrate!

The Girl Scout Suffrage Centennial Patch gives you and your troop a chance to explore this important history through simple guides and fun activities.

Girl Scout Rangers & the 19th Amendment
The National Park Service and Girl Scouts of the USA are commemorating the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment with a limited-edition commemorative patch. The Girl Scout Ranger 19th Amendment Patch Program will enhance Girl Scouts’ understanding of the significance of the 19th Amendment which removed the gender restriction to voting and granted many women the right to vote.

"Trails to your Future" Patch Program
Through completion of the program, Girl Scouts of Oregon and SW Washingtion (GSOSW) hopes girls will develop a passion, a talent, and a sense of adventure through the investigation of outdoor careers and women in the outdoor industry.

While girls may or may not end up pursuing a career in the outdoors, the aim is to encourage girls to use their voice and passion to recognize and support the important women of the outdoor industry.

Check out the Trails to your Future Patch Program for more information. Once completed, you can purchase the patch through the GSOSW store.
