Girl Scouting at Home When shelter in place took effect and it became unclear when programs and troop meetings would resume as usual, we needed to ensure that girls could stay active, engaged, and connected. We launched Girl Scouting at Home in March to provide girls with ways they could earn badges, explore the outdoors, and have a troop meeting experience from the safety of their home and backyard. With Digital G.I.R.L., we posted new activity guides—exploring, Community Connection, Girl Scout Traditions, Life Skills/ Entrepreneurship/Finance, the Outdoors, and STEM—each weekday from March 16-May 29, 2020, on our Girl Scouting at Home webpage. We also hosted live events each week on our social media pages featuring interviews with female leaders on #GirlTalkTuesdays and activities girls could follow along with on Thursdays. To bring Girl Scouting to girls’ homes, troop meetings were also recorded that girls could participate in and live troop meetings were hosted on Zoom so girls could interact with other girls. We encouraged troop leaders to host their own virtual meetings with their troops by providing new trainings and events to ensure they felt supported and ready to take on the digital world. Girls and adults that engaged in our Girl Scouting at Home activities and events had the opportunity to work towards our new Girl Scouting at Home patch—our first patch program available for adults! The success of Girl Scouting at Home shows the resilience and adaptability of our girls and volunteers and how big things can happen when plans change.
