Activities Are For Every Girl!

Looking to venture into the great outdoors, or committed to serving your community? Hoping to travel, explore science, technology, and engineering, or hone your entrepreneurial instincts? Girl Scouts has it all covered, providing you with well-rounded programming that delivers the essential Girl Scout experience.

So start planning your year— who knows what adventures are on the horizon? Registered Girl Scouts can participate in any age-appropriate activity the council offers; on their own, with a group of friends, or as part of a troop.

How to Use the Guide To get the most out of the Guide, use it alongside the online program calendar, which allows you to search for information and events using specific categories and levels. It’s easy to register for events online.

For Parents Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore has plenty of adventures that are perfect for the whole household. You’ll find everything from family explorations to skills that will set your girl up for success. Scroll through the programs to get more acquainted with what we have to offer your girl and your family.

For Troop Leaders and Other Volunteers Council-led programs are a fantastic resource to deepen the experiences of girls over the course of your Girl Scout year. There are plenty of badge- and Journey-based adventures, as well as programs related to service and having fun with a purpose. Share it with your group of girls to find out what their interests are for the year, and settle on a few outings that complement your troop goals. Are they excited about more experiences than you can cover in just your regular troop meetings? Check in with parents to see if the troop can support the added experiences. Don't forget to keep an eye out for trainings and workshops throughout the year!

For Girls Sit down and take a look at all the descriptions of the experiences. Find the ones that are most exciting to you and talk with your troop, troop leader, and parent/guardian about new adventures and skills you’d like to explore.

Stay Tuned

Cancellation Policy

Throughout the year we introduce new programs as opportunities arise, so stay up-to-date with the online program calendar and watch for program details via email and social media.

In the event of a cancellation, the adult listed on registration will receive a phone call and/or an email.

Cancellations will also be listed on GSFun.org. Only those registered for an event will be notified of any changes or cancellations. Refunds/rescheduling are available only when council staff cancels a program.

Advanced Pricing

Program Facilitators

Early registration allows us to purchase necessary supplies in a cost effective manner. When you register by the advance pricing date, easily found in the parentheses to the right of most program listings, we offer a savings as our way to say thank you for your efforts.

It takes a team of dedicated Girl Scout staff and volunteers to provide engaging Girl Scout experiences. Every program listing includes the name of the person leading the program behind the scenes. Visit our team directory at GSFun.org/staff for more about each facilitator.

The Symbols of Girl Scouts The uniform is an essential element of the Girl Scout experience, and a beautiful record of her time in Girl Scouts. From the Daisy smock to the Ambassador sash or vest, girls get to wear their accomplishments with pride and let their strengths shine.

Girl Scout Traditions Dating back to the founding of Girl Scouts, the uniform helped girls build sisterhood and community. We still have some of the same patches and awards as used at our founding, like Troop Crests and Brownie Wings!

Outdoor Adventure Girl Scouts are outdoor women, so it makes sense that so many of our badges help you get outside! It’ll be a cinch to earn badges like the Trail Adventure and Hiker badges, advance to badges like Trailblazing or Night Owl, and achieve awards like the Counselorin-Training and Program Aide pins.

Product Program These awards focus on setting goals, decisionmaking, money management, and people skills—everything a young entrepreneur needs. These awards don’t just show off her business acumen—they’re proof that she can help fund her own Girl Scout experience. Be sure to check out our Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin!

Community Service Community service doesn’t just transform her community—it transforms her Girl Scout spirit. These awards commemorate the way she’s changed the world around her, from local efforts to national action.

Badges, Journeys, and Awards At the heart of your troop experience, these awards show all the things you’ve learned and accomplished in Girl Scouts. Badges for skill development and exploring interests, Journeys for leadership growth and problem solving, and finally our prestigious higher awards (Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards) for big ideas and bigger effort.

Special Events Special events might not have an official badge, but they’re a vital part of what makes her Girl Scout experience great! The back of her uniform is fully dedicated to keeping these memories alive, and it’ll be covered in fun patches and participation patches from her adventures before you know it.

Cookie Craze

Dancing Daisies

Join our Cookie Craze as we celebrate National Cookie Day, December 4th! One of the best-loved traditions of the winter holidays is baking sweet treats, so we will honor that tradition by providing cookie recipes from different cultures around the world for you to try right in the comfort of your own kitchen.

You will learn the basics of baking while you sample your way around the world! This program is self-guided so you can choose to create as many of the recipes as you like and then vote on the one you would like to make together on zoom!

The winner will be chosen two weeks prior to the meeting so participants will have time to shop for ingredients. Let’s bake some cookies the Girl Scout way!

Every Daisy is a star at the Fred Astaire Studio! Get in front of the dance studio mirrors with your sister Girl Scouts and learn different style dances from Merengue to Fox Trot and more by experienced dance instructors at this 30-minute dance class.

Props for our Daisy friends will be included to spice up the fun!

Graduating Daisy, Brownie & Junior

Grinchmas and Light Fight

In Girl Scouting, Bridging is like a graduation where you celebrate finishing one level of your journey and take the first steps into the next.

Don't be a mean one, (Mr. Grinch.)

We would like to invite all 1st grade Daisies bridging to Brownies, and all 3rd grade Brownies bridging to Juniors and all 5th grade Juniors bridging to Cadettes to join us for an inperson bridging ceremony at our beautiful Camp Sacajawea.

Families will arrive together and wait for the ceremony in an assigned spot while the graduating girl and one adult will join staff to receive instructions to complete a step from a nextlevel badge, and practice for the ceremony.

During the ceremony, each girl will be recognized and will receive an exclusive certificate signed by the CEO of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, which is only available to those participating in this event! They will also receive a Bridging fun patch as they have their chance to shine when they cross the bridge to cheers and applause.

Price of admission includes: supply kit to take home, signed Bridging Certificate, Bridging fun patch (not GSUSA official Rainbow Bridging Badge) and the ceremony. This bridging ceremony can be done in addition to - or in place of any other bridging ceremonies done by a community or troop.

Save the season from the clutches of the Grinch. Make a S'more, complete a Whoville scavenger hunt, make magical hot chocolate and create an ornament to take home to brighten up the spirit of the season in your own home!

Keep your eyes peeled and you may even catch a glimpse (or a photo) with the Grinch!

Join us for our 2nd annual Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Light Fight. Come out and support your region! Vote on the best light display in camp! (Evening sessions only.)

Moana Wonders of Water Journey

Nature Photography Day

With inspiration from the movie Moana, Brownies will explore the wonders of water. From making boats that float to creating water globes and so much more, girls will not only learn about water but learn ways that we can all save water. On our Blue Planet, water is a life-giving force. It’s also a maker of rainbows. The Wonders of Water Journey calls on Brownies to use their leadership skills and values to protect the waters of planet Earth. Girls will learn about the water cycle, water pollution, and some small steps that they can take to advocate for the protection of this precious resource. The Wonders of Water Journey Book is included in this price. Two options to participate either in-person in November or virtually in February. This Journey is run by Cadette Girl Scouts earning their Leader in Action award.

Snap beautiful nature pictures with our polaroid cameras then create a masterpiece collage to commemorate National Nature Photography Day celebrated annually on June 15th.

Silver & Gold Award Committee Meeting The Silver and Gold Award Committee is an adult volunteer committee that helps girls successfully complete their Silver and Gold Award. The Committee meets once a month for this two part meeting. The Idea Share is hosted first, with the Gold Award Proposal Presentations happening after.

Girls who have an idea for their Silver or Gold Award but hesitating to submit proposals can join us for the Idea Share portion of the meeting. During our Idea Share, girls will have the opportunity to talk with committee members about project idea(s), ask questions, and receive feedback. Girls may connect with the committee solo or join with other girls working towards the same Silver Award project (up to four girls total). This is a great chance for girls to speak to committee members about their project idea before submitting their proposals. **Girls should have already attended a mandatory Silver or Gold Award Workshop and have an idea for their project.**

Girls looking for their Gold Award proposal to be approved can join us for the second half of our meeting to present their Gold Award proposal plan. Girls should plan to submit their proposals two weeks before the committee meeting date.

Once the Gold Award proposal is submitted to council, girls will be invited to present their proposal. *Girls should have completed their requirements** Plan to have a 10-15 minute time slot with the committee anytime from 5:30 PM - 8 PM on the Committee meeting date.

This is a first come, first serve meeting. Time slots will be given closer to the committee meeting date.

Soul Food - Black History Month Celebration

Silver & Gold Award Committee Meeting The Silver and Gold Award Committee is an adult volunteer committee that helps girls successfully complete their Silver and Gold Award. The Committee meets once a month for this two part meeting. The Idea Share is hosted first, with the Gold Award Proposal Presentations happening after.

Girls who have an idea for their Silver or Gold Award but hesitating to submit proposals can join us for the Idea Share portion of the meeting. During our Idea Share, girls will have the opportunity to talk with committee members about project idea(s), ask questions, and receive feedback. Girls may connect with the committee solo or join with other girls working towards the same Silver Award project (up to four girls total). This is a great chance for girls to speak to committee members about their project idea before submitting their proposals. **Girls should have already attended a mandatory Silver or Gold Award Workshop and have an idea for their project.**

Celebrate the rich culture of African Americans by learning about America's original cuisine- Soul Food! Participants in this self-guided program will learn to cook a complete meal including beverage, appetizer, sides and main course. Food is the common thread that unites people of all races and backgrounds, so we hope you will all join us for this handson historical experience. Patch is earned by completing requirements at your own pace. There is an optional zoom meeting on Feb 1st to kick off the program. Recording of the live zoom will be emailed to all registrants.

Silver & Gold Award Committee Meeting The Silver and Gold Award Committee is an adult volunteer committee that helps girls successfully complete their Silver and Gold Award. The Committee meets once a month for this two part meeting. The Idea Share is hosted first, with the Gold Award Proposal Presentations happening after.

Girls who have an idea for their Silver or Gold Award but hesitating to submit proposals can join us for the Idea Share portion of the meeting. During our Idea Share, girls will have the opportunity to talk with committee members about project idea(s), ask questions, and receive feedback. Girls may connect with the committee solo or join with other girls working towards the same Silver Award project (up to four girls total). This is a great chance for girls to speak to committee members about their project idea before submitting their proposals. **Girls should have already attended a mandatory Silver or Gold Award Workshop and have an idea for their project.**
