This virtual training is designed for Cadettes, Senior, Ambassador Girl Scouts, and Troop Leaders/ Adult Volunteers. The purpose is to prepare for success in facilitating events for other Girl Scouts. This class is best taken when the participant has an event in mind that they want to plan. This will include Service Unit Events, Fundraising Events, or Events connected to Take Action Projects, VIT pin, or other Highest Awards including the Girl Scouts' Silver, Rose, or Gold Awards. Topics will include Risk Management and Event Planning Details- such as timeline, budget, marketing, Girl Scout Policies & Procedures, etc. This is a virtual event with a hands-on workbook to be printed before class start time. This class is content-heavy and is fast-paced.
Badge Connections: During this program adult volunteers will receive the training required to be able to plan and facilitate events for their Service Units and the ability to guide their troops through the event planning process. Girls who complete this training will earn the prerequisite for putting on an event as needed for Highest Award project events, Rose Award events and the events required for the VIT Pin.

We do not recommend choosing "join from browser" as the quality is often low. Make sure your internet is strong: For best quality, turn off other devices that are using your internet connection. The closer you are to your modem, the stronger the connection will be.
