New Volunteer Toolkit toggle arrow

The Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) is designed to support troop leaders in planning and delivering program content to Girl Scouts through troop meetings. The VTK is also available for service unit volunteers as well as Juliettes/individually registered Girl Scouts. The VTK helps to consolidate resources into one digital tool to save time and assist with planning the Girl Scout year, meeting agendas, and troop management. The VTK now includes all current Badge Booklets for all program levels, Daisy through Ambassador.

New Badge Line toggle arrow

The Body Appreciation badge line helps Girl Scouts (K–12) build confidence, practice self-care, and celebrate their unique strengths through fun, age-appropriate activities. Girls learn to value their bodies, set healthy boundaries, and support others with kindness and respect. A Volunteer Guide makes it easy to lead. Made possible by Flamingo.

New badges, badge requirements and volunteer guides can be purchased through www.girlscoutshop.com.
