leaderfest registration deadline is october 16
There’s only a few more days to register for Leaderfest, happening at Camp Ginger Cascades November 3-5.
Girl Scout adults are invited to join us and earn important certifications, connect with other adults and gather some great tips and activities to bring back to your troop! The registration deadline is next Monday, October 16.
Want to attend, but need childcare? Leaderfest also offers a children’s program!
Badge Explorer & Other Troop Resources
As you gear up for the new troop year, there are several great resources you can reference for badge work and troop level tips.
Badge Explorer
GSUSA’s Badge Explorer is a great place to find lists of badges and Journey awards that Girl Scouts can earn. You can search by grade level and topic and also download PDFs with your selected awards and badges so you can easily reference requirements or hand out to parents.
Troop Year Plans and Grade Level Progression Booklet
On the GSCP2P website, you can find a variety of volunteer resources including Troop Year Plans broken down by each Girl Scout level. The Grade Level Progression Booklet is also a good place to learn more about effective troop meeting tips, Girl Scout traditions and holidays and more!
Upcoming Fall Product Program Deadline
There is only one week left for girls to take in-person orders for candy and nut items for the 2023 Fall Product Program. Make sure you’ve circled back with all your friends and family to make sure they get their orders in before it’s too late!
