Our program offerings provide enriching experiences for girls.

Check out our event categories to find events that match a Girl Scout's needs and interests.

Civic Engagement

Civic

Girl Scouting inspires members to find their voices and be advocates for the issues and ideas important to them. Every girl is encouraged to lead positive change through civic action and form her own ideas, opinions, beliefs, and political ideology. Events marked purple indicate programs related to civic engagement.

Global Engagement

Global

No matter their age, Girl Scouts can engage with global issues. Events marked blue indicate programs with global themes. For even more activities to do individually or as a troop, check out the global page of our website at gskentuckiana.org/global.

Family Engagement

Looking to add more diversity, equity, and inclusion topics into your troop meetings? Look no further!

Each month, girls can Discover, Connect, and Take Action in a specific subject area. Hands-on activities are available for all Girl Scout levels and can be done at meetings, as a pre-meeting activity, or as an at-home project.

This fall and winter, Patch of the Month programs offer Girl Scouts and their troops an opportunity to learn more about the diverse cultural landscape of America while also earning a fun patch! Completing patch programs can help complete a Journey and may satisfy requirements for certain badges. It’s not necessary to complete the patch programs in the months specified—they can be completed at any time!

Find the packets at: gskentuckiana.org/patchofthemonth.

October

Hispanic Heritage Month: Celebrated in September and October each year, Hispanic Heritage Month honors all people in the U.S. whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

November

Native American Heritage Month: Celebrated each year in November, Native American Heritage Month honors the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Indigenous Peoples.

Family

The whole family can join in the fun! There are lots of ways families can be involved in Girl Scouts, and sometimes that means enjoying an outing together.

These events are open for the whole gang to come along as their Girl Scout discovers the world. Everyone shares the fun when a family sees an event through a Girl Scout's eyes! Family events show the various costs for the Girls Scout, adults and tagalongs. Tagalongs are siblings or friends (both boys and girls) who join an event or program, accompanied by parents or guardian.

Spark! Events

Patch of the Month

Cookie Boss: Learn about entrepreneurship and starting your own business as you prepare to kick off Girl Scout cookie season!

Learning by Earning Two things a Girl Scout can look forward to during the school year are the Fall Product Program and the famous Girl Scout Cookie Program. Both voluntary programs develop fantastic skills for members. By participating, troops can have big fun and earn resources to power their adventures throughout the year.

Fall Product Program

Cookie Program

September 18 – October 22

January 15 – March 31

Participating in the Fall Product Program is a great way to earn start-up funds for uniforms and unique, amazing experiences for your troop!

By selling cookies, a Girl Scout is part of the largest girl-led business in the world!

Troops earn 20-25% of the proceeds from the Fall Product Program. Girls also earn awesome individual rewards and learn valuable entrepreneurial skills. This program is very easy to complete online and includes lots of great interactive features for girls like creating their own custom-designed avatar.

The famous Girl Scout Cookie Program is a tradition that troops, girls, and families can all enjoy. Troops earn a profit from all sales, and girls have the opportunity to set goals and earn awesome individual and troop rewards! Troops earn money to fund their troop adventures as well as many programmatic incentives. During door-to-door and in-person sales, girls improve their interpersonal and communication skills. Virtual and video training opportunities are available for adults.

Visit gskentuckiana.org/productprograms for product program news and updates.

Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana

Training Highlights for Adults Adult volunteers are the driving, thriving, fearless force behind Girl Scouts, so well-informed leaders are a bedrock for troop success.

Training is always available.

Sometimes it can come from a workshop led by volunteers or staff. Or it might look like an online, self-paced course. Or it may be a hands-on experience in the great outdoors.

Training volunteers is important to our mission of creating a great experience for every Girl Scout.

Whether they are a new volunteer in their first year or a well-established guru, adults can find the learning they need to power the fun for girls.
