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

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.

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.
