Tools to Meet Virtually | Community Service

When girls take the lead, great things happen! GSCO on the Go is what you know and love of the Girl Scout program but reimagined for that Girl Scout that is constantly on the go and wants to do Girl Scouts on their own schedule.
Each month we will have a series of programs that Girl Scouts can choose from, such as earning a badge or Journey, connecting with other Girl Scouts their age, and building their leadership skills all through a digital environment making it easy to access when and where they are!

What to expect each month:

Badge Series: A badge or Journey for each program level that Girl Scouts can complete on their own schedule. Are you a Girl Scout from another council and want to participate in Girl Scouts of Colorado's Badge Series? You can join for $5 per month. Complete this registration form to get access for your girl!
Hangouts: A social space for Girl Scouts to connect with others their same age
Know-Hows: A skill-building space to go beyond what is learned in our badges

Additional activities:

Inspiring Futures: Inspiring Futures, powered by College Invest, is a virtual series that features in-depth and interactive sessions with motivating women from a wide variety of occupations. During these exciting sessions, Girl Scouts will learn about an expansive range of potential careers and the educational pathways that could lead them there. Programs will include interactive activities as well as time for questions from Girl Scouts.
Leadership Development: Throughout the year trainings will be offered for Cadette Program Aide Award and Volunteer in Training Award

Community Service

From educating communities about food production and selling Treasury Bonds during WWI and the Spanish flu pandemic to planting victory gardens and training in first aid during WWII, Girl Scouts have always stepped up in times of need, and our current COVID-19 crisis is no different. All across our country and our world, Girl Scouts have leapt to the aid of others by engaging in wonderful acts of service and kindness.
