The Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) is a digital resource that supports troop leaders and co-leaders, making the process of running a troop easier and more efficient. Check out some of the toolkit’s top features below. Then watch the video playlist above for a detailed walk-through.

Through the VTK, troop leaders can:

• Plan the troop’s calendar year
• Email parents with one click.
• View the troop roster, renew girls’ membership, and update their contact information.
• View Journeys and badges to plan for troop meetings..
              o   There are prepopulated year plans in the VTK for all level troop leaders.
•    Customize meetings by troop year with other badge and Journey options.
• Explore individual meeting plans that show a breakdown of every meeting, including a list of the materials needed, and editable time allotments for each activity within a meeting.
• Record girls’ attendance at meetings and their badge and Journey achievements.
• Add council or custom troop events to the troop’s calendar.
• Enter the troop’s finances.
• Easily locate resources, such as Volunteer Essentials and Safety Activity Checkpoints.
• “Get Outside” option, which provides alternative outdoor options.    
• Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops have access to features including the troop roster, troop finances, national resources, and all K-5 program content (if needed for working with younger troops).       
  

• Parents can now access the VTK to see what their girl’s troop or group is doing (e.g, meeting information and which badges and Journeys she is working on).
• Parents can also view the troop’s finances as a read only view.
